Hi all, I am not sure this is the right mailinglist to discuss this but anyway, here goes...
I want to use Inkscape with OpenSolaris 2008.11 but I have yet to find any binaries. I am now trying to build Inkscape on my own but I only have little knowledge of C/C++ development and Sun Studio in conjunction with C/C++ development. When I run ./configure in the Inkscape source directory I eventually get the following output: checking gc.h usability... yes checking gc.h presence... yes checking for gc.h... yes checking for GC_init in -lgc... no checking for GC_malloc in -lgc... no checking for GC_realloc in -lgc... no checking for GC_free in -lgc... no configure: error: libgc (the Boehm Conservative Collector) 6.4+, is needed to compile inkscape -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc I guess gc.h presence tells me that gc is available. But strangely the last line tells me the wrong version is installed. Running pkginfo -l SUNWlibgc returns: PKGINST: SUNWlibgc NAME: Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector for C/C++ CATEGORY: GNOME2,application,JDS4 ARCH: i386 VERSION: 7.1,REV=110.0.4.2008.10.06.22.12 VENDOR: Sun Microsystems, Inc. DESC: Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector for C/C++ HOTLINE: Please contact your local service provider STATUS: completely installed i.e. version 7.1 which is > 6.4. Is there an easy answer to this? Is this the correct mailinglist? Will you bear with me with my follow up questions? Thank you in advance, Alex
