Thank you, Iain. the instructions you pointed me to were a good start, but not sufficient. Besides, I discovered that some of the environment variables thereby suggested are actually not needed.
Fist of all, one has to make sure the packages SUNWgcc and SUNWhea are installed, or you will go nowhere. Then, you have to set some compiler options; e.g. gcc does not like -pthread as it wants -pthreads (with the final "s"). I also had to modify one pcsc-lite haeder file, misc.h, to remove the "visibility" attribute which Solaris ccc does not like. In the end I was able to run pcsc-lite and the ccid driver. Now, I wonder what is the best tecnique - under Solaris - to have the pcscd daemon automatically started upon boot..... Adriano This message posted from opensolaris.org
