Mapserver on Solaris 10

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Steven,

I don't have Solaris 10 but have compiled everything you mentioned on 
Solaris 9 successfully using a combination of GNU (gcc, etc.) and Sun's 
tools.  Are you trying to compile using Sun's compilers and utilities?

If you use GCC and GNU autoconf, automake, libtool, make, flex and 
bison, you shouldn't have problems compiling things.  Read through the 
Unix Compilation HOWTO for MapServer at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/compiling_on_unix/#obtaining-the-necessary-software 
for more info.  Attached you will also find the configure parameters 
I've used for each software I compiled in support of MapServer--it 
should give you an idea of how much time you'll need just to get to 
compiling MapServer (but now all you need are the source packages). ;)

Good luck!
-Perry
