Hi Dmitry,

It looks like I've got 2.0.3. Its readme claims to work with gcc >=  
3.2 (and Sun Studio etc etc).

So it seems to be a dependency of libgtkmm. I get a successful build  
if I use:

--without-gtkmm --disable-icu --disable-unity

but I'm not sure what I'm losing without gtkmm. I'm also not sure what  
my successful build's given me!

That's a pity, particularly as gcc is poor on Solaris. I'll probably  
carry on with gtkmm disabled, but would patches to allow other  
compilers be welcomed?

Also what's the relationship between open-vm-tools and what vmware  
ship? Will what I am building work in the current version of (in my  
case) VMware Fusion?

Cheers,

Chris
