Compiling on Solaris 8

[gert]

Hi

I am trying to compile a recent snapshot of swarm (swarm-2002-03-09) on
solaris 8. 

As a first test I tried to build is with the same software set that I
used in the succesfully build of snapshot swarm-2001-04-02 (gcc-2.95.2,
j2sdk1_3_0, tcl/tk-8.3.2, etc.). The first test failed, and the
occurence of "depmode=gcc3" on the failing line inspired me to do a
second test with gcc-3.0. This test failed too, most likely due to the
fact that our gcc-3.0 uses /usr/ccs/bin/ld as opposed to the gnu ld.

Before I try any further I would like to ask is there exists an up to
date list of needed software for succesfully compiling swarm-2002-03-09?

A second question is about the version numbering of swarm. Our users 
asked me to upgrade to swarm-2.2. After some searching, all I could 
find was a link to:
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/\
Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH7.2/swarm-2.1.131.20020206-1.src.rpm
      ^^^                     ^^^^  
which indeed contains swarm-2.1.131.20020206.tar.gz.

I concluded that this was most likely one of the snapshots and got
myself the newest from ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing/.
Am I correct that this is also called swarm-2.2 or did I fail to find
the right source?

Gert
