Compiling 4.2.1 on Solaris?

[Jan Nicolai Langfeldt]

Hi,

have anyone tried to compile 4.2.1 on solaris?  I'm having a problem
in src421/src.alpha/raster/r.hdf/HDF_lib/src where a lot of make
variables seem to be undefined, foremost of them is CC and MACHINE.  I
tried hardcoding the variable values, but the only thing that worked
was hardcoding CC and CFLAGS in the compilation rules.  That make
compilation work at least, but when installing:

---
ar r libdf.a hfile.o herr.o hblocks.o hextelt.o hkit.o dfan.o dfr8.o dfcomp.o  dfimcomp.o dfp.o dfgr.o df24.o dfsd.o dfgroup.o dfconv.o dfufp2i.o   vg.o vrw.o vio.o vparse.o vconv.o vsfld.o vgp.o vhi.o      dfutil.o dfstubs.o
ar: creating libdf.a
ranlib libdf.a
mkdir /mn/isfjord/local/ttmp/src421/src.alpha/raster/r.hdf/HDF_lib/include
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/mn/isfjord/local/ttmp/src421/src.alpha/raster/r.hdf/HDF_lib/include"; File exists

       cp -r|R [-f] [-i] [-p] d1 ... dn-1 dn
*** Error code 2 (ignored)
ranlib /libdf.a

the directory name variables are undefined at the point where the
install_it target is executed...  Using gnu make (3.76.1) does not
change anything.

I was unable to determine what went wrong to make behave this way.

Does anyone have any hints?
