Hullo,
when building parrot on Solaris I get most of the way through the
build, but right at the end, building pbc_to_exe fails with the
following output:
./parrot -o pbc_to_exe.pbc pbc_to_exe.pir
./parrot pbc_to_exe.pir pbc_to_exe.pbc

It seems that the Makefile macro $(LIBPARROT_STATIC) isn't being
expanded. I had a bit of a look around and found the following lines
in config_lib.pasm (which is used for the configuration information
necessary to build pbc_to_exe):
set P0["libparrot"], "$(LIBPARROT_STATIC)"
set P0["libparrot_ldflags"], "$(LIBPARROT_STATIC)"
further digging showed that these values are set within
config/inter/libparrot.pm, and the code in there seems perfectly sane
(especially considering that the value would be later expanded by
make). Unfortunately, from here I don't know where else to look to
solve the problem, however it is stopping me from building parrot on
the Solaris platform at present.
