I successfully built Lyx-1.2.0pre4 with my old xforms-88.1 library
(Sparc-Solaris-8, gcc 2.95.3, gnumake) only to run into problems with
screen rendering of graphics.  So I tried to build it with the new
xforms-89.6 library, only to find that the make now breaks on sigc++:

  Making all in sigc++
  gnumake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/lyx-1.2.0pre4/sigc++'
  m4 -I./macros  macros/object_slot.h.m4  > ./object_slot.h
  m4: bad option: -I./macros
  gnumake[1]: *** [object_slot.h] Error 1
  gnumake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/lyx-1.2.0pre4/sigc++'
  gnumake: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It appears that -I is not an option in the Solaris m4.  I'd welcome a
workaround suggestion.  (I hope LyX hasn't become so Linux-oriented
that it no longer compiles with standard Unix utilities.)

Thanks,
