Forgive me if this is a common question, but I didn't find anything on this
after attempting a few searches in the mailing list archive.

This system is using glib/gtk packages from http://www.blastwave.org/ (an
Open Solaris community site).

Today I tried to compile the gtkglext-1.2.0.tar source on an old Solaris 8
machine.

After the ./configure and a make, the build process gets pretty far, but
around:

Making all in X11
...
rm -fr .libs/libgdkglext-x11-1.0.lax
creating libgdkglext-x11-1.0.la
egrep: syntax error
 egrep: syntax error
 egrep: syntax error
(about twenty more times)
...
Making all in gtk
...
ranlib .libs/libgtkglext-x11-1.0.la
 egrep: syntax error
 egrep: syntax error
 egrep: syntax error
(about twenty more times)
...
Making all in m4macros
rm -f gtkglext-1.0.m4 && cp gtkglext-1.0.m4
cp: Insufficient arguments (1)
Usage: cp
...
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'gtkglext-1.0.m4`
...
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'all-recursive'
...
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'all'

So there are at least two egrep syntax errors and a cp error within the
script generated by ./configure on Solaris 8.

I'm not a autoconf or m4 macro expert, but I would not be surprised if the
GNU egrep is different than the egrep Solaris is using, but the website
http://www.k-3d.org/gtkglext/Main_Page#Platforms currently lists UNIX and
UNIX-like platforms.

Solaris isn't listed, but I hoped it would be close enough... should I look
for a GNU egrep package for Solaris?

What did people have to do to build it under IRIX and Mac OS X?

Ideas/suggestions?

PS

I've compiled everything on my personal Ubuntu computer and am very
impressed with GtkGLExt as a whole.

~Thanks
