[mgp-users 01381] Solaris 8 build problems, some fixes, some questions

["Jay W. Summet" <summetj@cc.gatech.edu>]

I'm attempting to compile mgp-1.11b on Solaris 8.

Here are the problems I've ran into so far and resolutions where I could
get them solved:

-Something didn't generate ctlwords.h correctly (not sure where it was
supposed to..) I downloaded the code mentioned in this mailing list:
http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/nishida/mgp-users/msg00026.html

and used it to generate ctlwords.h from globals.c manually.

In the xmkmf -a step, I got a compile error with x11.c Apparently the
comment after the #if 1 on line 229 caused my old solaris compiler to
barf. I modified it by moving the comment up one line as follows and it
works now:

// this method is old. we should use WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN.
#if 1
        if (!(mgp_flag & FL_OVER)) {
                xsa.override_redirect = True;
                mask |= CWOverrideRedirect;
        }
#endif

When initally running make; It will die on mgp.c (some problem with
signal.h not setting sigset_t). Copy the failed compilation line and paste it
in to an xterm to execute, but use gcc instead. (Of course, remove the
  -Xc -Xf -xcg92 flags which gcc will barf on).

* run make; Lots of the program will compile ok, up to ./image/path.c

It appears that path.c is having LOTS of problems with include files (on
Solaris?).  Full error messages at the end of this email....

Has anybody ran into this before? Know what to fix?
Thanks,
Jay
