Anybody using PHP mapscript on Solaris ? (was: Re: problems making PHP mapscript)

[A. Giacomelli]

Thanks to Daniel Morissette for his feedback.

Following Daniel's hint, I changed the options for ld to conform to my
ld's syntax (from -assert nodefinitions to -z nodefs would seem to make
sense), but the result is identical.

I would like to know if there is anybody on the list who has
successfully built PHP mapscript on Solaris, just to check how they got
it working.


Regards,
