thank you for your help but after one day of suffering i am abandoning my effort to compile it on Solaris with the workshop compiler. I probably am doing something wrong somewhere but ant -Dcompiler=CC results in miles and miles of compiler errors. as far as I can gather it does appear as if ant does not detect various aspects correctly e..g sigwait taking only one argument and hundreds more such things. i am very dissapointed as I really wanted to use this on Solaris but I can only conclude that if you are not an expert on ant and the likes, you will never get it to compile. I am not even starting to talk to get it compiled 64-bit which is how I really have to compile it. the log4cxx community would probably make some people very happy to get it working on Solaris as easy as it is on Linux as the mailing lists does indicate a lot of interrest on using it on Solaris.
