[Scribus] Error compiling sxwim on Solaris 10

[Rainer Heilke]

Greetings, all.

I've been using Scribus (quite enjoying it, well done!) on a Java 
Desktop System (essentially SUSE 9) for half a year now. I slurp down 
the CVS repository on a somewhat regular basis, and it compiles 
perfectly. I don't even have to do the Python 2.4 work-around anymore. :-)

I've been wanting to get it working on my main desktop for some time, 
though. This desktop runs Solaris 10 (SPARC) build 72. Over time, I've 
gotten various pieces together (it hasn't been too high a priority), and 
the last success was finally getting GCC to properly build Qt with 
thread support (easy once I saw the mkheaders note for GCC). configure 
was (finally) happy. The last two times I slurped down the CVS changes 
to the JDS system, it built fine there. I tried tar'ing up the tree, 
copying it to the Solaris system, and building there, but it keeps 
failing. The make -f Makefile.cvs runs fine, as does ./configure. 
Running the main make, though, is failing on the sxwim tree with:

Is this an error in the FreeType I have installed, or is the error 
actually in the sxwim.cpp file? The previous pieces seem to get past the 
freetype error just fine, so I'm thinking it may be something the SPARC 
GCC doesn't like about sxwim.cpp. This is using GNU make.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. It's late at night here, and 
I won't be able to do much until tomorrow evening at the earliest, so no 
rush. Again, it isn't a high priority, but I would like to get it 
working at some point, so I can make the JDS system just an emergency 
backup.

Thanks, folks. :-)
