Hello
I have found the reason why xacc-1.0.18 doesn't compile with
gcc (2.8.1 in my case) on Solaris 2.6. You force "-I/usr/include" for
all of the compiles. This is a bad idea because it means that gcc
picks up files in /usr/include before its own files in
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.8.1/include/. One of
these files is stdarg.h. /usr/include/stdarg.h doesn't work with gcc.

removing -I/usr/include from the line containing "INCLPATH = -I/usr/include".
Without -I/usr/include error.c and debug.c (and everyting else) compile.

Another problem comes from the configure script. The final link is
gcc -O2 AccWindow.o Account.o AccountMenu.o Action.o AdjBWindow.o
BuildMenu.o Data.o Destroy.o FileBox.o FileIO.o HelpWindow.o LedgerUtils.o
MainWindow.o PopBox.o QIFIO.o QuickFill.o RecnWindow.o RegWindow.o Reports.o
TextBox.o Transaction.o XferBox.o XferWindow.o date.o main.o util.o
../lib/XmHTML-1.1.0/src/libXmHTML.a ../lib/Xbae-4.6.2-linas/libXbae.a
../lib/ComboBox-1.33/libComboBox.a -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib
-L/usr/openwin/lib/. -lXpm -lXm -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lnsl -lsocket
-lpng -ljpeg -lz -lm -o ../xacc.bin
Ie, configure has found -lXpm in /usr/local/lib. The problem is that Xpm is
a shared library and in this case the option -R/usr/local/lib has to be supplied
to the link as well so that the shared library can be found as run time. As the
comment in the configure script says:
# It would be nice to have a more robust check for the -R ld option than
# just checking for Solaris.
# It would also be nice to do this for all -L options, not just this one.
xacc.bin worked long enough for me to create a couple of
accounts and one transaction then it got a Segmentation Fault.

Is this a problem with Solaris 2.6's version of Motif?
/usr/include/Xm/Xm.h tells me that I have OSF/Motif Version 1.2.6.
I just had a look at our one and only (for the moment) Solaris 2.7
machine. There I see Motif Version 2.1.0. Should that work better?
There is another problem. After I had created a "Credit Card" account,
the window opened showing white text on a yellow background. This
isn't readable. Is this normal?
thanks for your help
Stuart
