expat-1.95.2 on Solaris

[Dimitri PAPADOPOULOS-ORFANOS]

Hi,

I'm trying to build expat-1.95.2 on Solaris using Sun WorkShop 5.0.

1) I had to use GNU make. Sun make doesn't work. There's not even
  an error message.
  
2) I get an error while building xmlwf:

cc -o xmlwf -static xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs 
-lexpat
cc: -a conflicts with -dy.
gmake[1]: *** [xmlwf] Error 1

  The reason is that cc does not know -static. I changed
  	LDFLAGS= @LDFLAGS@ -static
  to
  	LDFLAGS= @LDFLAGS@ -static
  in xmlwf/Makefile.in and xmlwf now builds correctly
  although dynamically linked instead of statically.

  I tried with -Bstatic but then all libraries are ncluding
  the C library are linked statically which is not what you
  want.
  The correct command line would be:
	cc -o xmlwf xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs 
-Bstatic  -lexpat -Bdynamic
  But libtool should probably take care of this.
