Salman, I'm not sure any one has had flightgear running on a sun box in recent memory. This means that whatever problems you have encountered building on the solaris platform probably have been lurking for years and you are the first to stumble on them. There are specific bugs and issues with the Irix linking process for instance which breaks down when building large C++ applications (but is ok for simple C++ linking.) We've had to come up with Irix specific 'hacks' to work around these problems. That's why I suggested that there could be bugs or limitations of the Solaris build tools (ar, ld, etc.) when building large C++ applications involving C++ libraries. Also, the messages you reported indicated that something earlier in the pipeline was generating code/instructions/symbols that something later in the pipeline couldn't understand. This smells to me like a bug somewhere in the build system (or a miscomunication between a gnu tool and a native sun tool in the compile pipeline.) For instance, gcc could be outputing symbols understood by the gnu ld, but not by the sun ld (?) I don't think you are running into a 'known' problem here (at least not known to the flightgear developers) and I don't know of any other solaris users on our developer list (let alone ones that have produced a successful fgfs build.) It may be that you are a bit on your own here and need to beat on this for a while yourself and find the solution on your own. Maybe there is some solaris/gcc mailing list where you could post your issues? It sounds like you need to locate some solaris compiler/building expertise. Once you do figure out what is going on, hopefully we can work the fix into the FlightGear build system so that future solaris users can benefit. That's probably not the answer you are looking for, but it's the best I can offer at this point (unless someone with solaris build experience can de-lurk and tell us all what is going on here.)
