Build probs under Solaris

[Martin Grabmueller]

Hello list,

I have just tried to build a fresh CVS Guile under Solaris, but got no
luck.  After updating and a make clean, autogen.sh gave the following
warnings:

  address@hidden (~/cvs/guile/guile-core): ./autogen.sh 
  configure.in:160: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
  configure.in:374: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling

  guile-readline...

I checked whether the autotools here at university are out of date,
but they are exactly the versions mentioned in HACKING:

  address@hidden (~/cvs/guile/guile-core): autoconf --version
  Autoconf version 2.13
  address@hidden (~/cvs/guile/guile-core): automake --version
  automake (GNU automake) 1.4

When trying to build anyway, configure complained about the missing
macros, which are unknown to autoconf.

Giving --enable-ltdl-convenience to configure made it shut up, but the
build fails with this:

  (cd .libs && gcc -c -fno-builtin -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions "guileS.c")
  rm -f .libs/guileS.c .libs/guile.nm .libs/guile.nmS .libs/guile.nmT

Anyone knows what the problem is?

Thanks,
