Do you want to keep Solaris 10/Xsun support in?
Does the current code still work for Solaris 10? If that's the case, then it will be better to fix the compilation issues for Solaris 11 while keeping support for Solaris 10. If it doesn't work for Solaris 10 I think you can just fix the Solaris 11 issues and drop support for the older stuff. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
