There's one more problem with this library. The existing Solaris 8 wxwidgets is compiled with unicode support. If it was compiled with Unicode on Solaris, there has to be a way of doing that, I just don't know what it is. I haven't been able to compile unicode-enabled version on Solaris 8 due to missing wide characters function. I don't know how it was compiled on Solaris 8, but it sure required some patching of the code, or copying files from Solaris 9, or something similar.
This focus on Solaris 8 leads in the wrong direction as we officially deprecated it. If it is hard to do on Solaris 8 than we shouldn't spend effort in it and start releasing with Solaris 9 full features. In addition to this there are only 4 packages depending on wxwidgets: - xchm (Windows CHM Help Browser) - rapidsvn (SVN GUI Frontend) - kicad (Electronic Layout Software) - boincmanager (successor of s...@home) The only application I would consider important here is kicad, which is actively maintained by Dominique. xchm was maintained by Alessio and I have successfully rebuilt it in GAR. rapidsvn is also from Alessio and may be as easy to redo. boinc is actively maintained by Eric. What I am saying is that we should concentrate on updating the dependent packages starting with Solaris 9 full featured, maybe without legacy libs, and leave Solaris 8 as is.
However, Dago thinks that GNUlib can fix the problem. I don't have a lot of spare cycles right now, so if anyone wants to pick up the work, everything is in the repository.
I don't think this anymore, it will certainly take a day to do this right which would better be spend with other things moving forward.
