Ric,

Compiling OpenHPI on a Solaris 10 system requires a few more steps 
than compiling on a Linux system. Also, some of the command names and 
the locations of commands and libraries on a Solaris 10 system are not 
what you would expect if you are coming from a Linux system.

I have included some instructions below for compiling OpenHPI 2.13.3 
on a x86 Solaris 10 system. I can't guarantee these will work on your 
system, but you might find them useful. Let me know if you run into 
any problems or have any questions. You might need additional packages 
depending on which OS installation options were used.

1. Set your path.

% PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:\
/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/perl5/bin
% export PATH


2. Download and install autoconf, automake, and libtool

% wget \
http://companion.sunfreeware.com/downloads/S10U6/I386/SFWaconf.zip \
http://companion.sunfreeware.com/downloads/S10U6/I386/SFWamake.zip \
http://companion.sunfreeware.com/downloads/S10U6/I386/SFWltool.zip

% unzip SFWaconf.zip; unzip SFWamake.zip; unzip SFWltool.zip

% su
# pkgadd -d . SFWaconf
# pkgadd -d . SFWamake
# pkgadd -d . SFWltool
# exit


3. Download OpenHPI-2.13.3

% wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openhpi/openhpi-2.13.3.tar.gz
% gtar zxf openhpi-2.13.3.tar.gz
% cd openhpi-2.13.3


4. Download and apply the OpenHPI for Solaris 10 patches described in

2543954 Fix a compile problem with sprintf on Solaris
2546669 Fix a configure problem with glib on Solaris

% wget 
'http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/download.php?group_id=71730&atid=532254&file_id=311048&aid=2543954' 
-O oh_error.h.patch
% gpatch -p0 < oh_error.h.patch

% wget 
'http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/download.php?group_id=71730&atid=532254&file_id=315346&aid=2546669' 
-O configure.patch
% gpatch -p0 < configure.patch


5. Run configure and compile

% ./configure --disable-snmp_bc \
LDFLAGS='-L/lib -L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib -lrt' \
CFLAGS='-I/opt/sfw/include'

% gmake
