Hello everyone,
I have read through all of the mailing list archives and must say that
Solaris does not seem to want to play nice with anything that didn't come
from Sun. My experience with Blackbox is no exception.
I am currently running Solaris 8 and XFce ( which took no less than two
days to get right under Solaris ) and I want very much to try
Blackbox. Unfortunately, I fail right out of the gate:
# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/local/bin/install
-c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing

checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes

checking for c++... (cached) c++
checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler
cannot create executables.

Please understand that I am very new to anything that doesn't
configure/make/make install correctly the first time. I don't have much
experience with libraries or flags or any of the other stuff that I hear
discussed a lot in reference to compiling source code.
That said, I have tried the things I read on the list archives. I also
renamed c++ and copied gcc to c++ ( I know, I know, see above ) and
somehow that allowed configure to finish without any problems. But then
make broke so I moved c++ back and am now starting again in square one.
I knew it wasn't the correct way, and figured it wouldn't work, but it was
worth a shot as I was at a loss for idea.
Based on the above error, can anyone offer me a starting point?
Thanks.
Jason
