Hi,

Due to the OpenWin X headers on Solaris 8, you can't compile Blackbox out of
the box with GCC on Solaris 8 for Intel or Sparc. You get errors like
"/usr/openwin/include/X11/Xlib.h:3899: warning: ANSI C++ forbids
declaration". I'm not sure if this is already well known as I don't read
this list (sorry!), but the solution is to make GCC more relaxed about this
problem, downgrading it to a warning:

CPPFLAGS=-fpermissive  ./configure

After this, although there are a lot of warnings on the way, Blackbox will
build. Would it be possible to add a note to this effect in the install
notes in the next release of Blackbox? This problem also arises in bbkeys,
possibly others.

Best regards,
Michael
