Solaris 2.7 build problem again!

[Gajanan S. C. <ga...@ve...>]

Hi,

I am trying to build icu1.8.1 on solaris 2.7 (WS6) with GNU Make 3.75.

I ran into three problems so far, from this archives it seems that two
of them are known.

1. runConfigureICU error:
    checking whether the C compiler (/usr/local/SUNWspro/bin/cc  )
works... no
    configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot
    create executables.

    I fixed this problem by modifying runConfigureICU to pickup CC and
CXX
    for SOLARISCC from /apps/SUNWSpro/bin.

2. When compiling i18n/ucol_tok.cpp, the error telling that the compiler
cannot
     cast from void * to unsigned.

     Fixed this error by modifying ucol_tok.cpp as follows:

     lines 36: const uint32_t key = *(const unit32_t *)k;
     lines 52: const uint32_t p1 = *(const unit32_t *)key1;
     lines 53: const uint32_t p2 = *(const unit32_t *)key2;

Can somebody from this list comment if this is a right way to fix the
problems ?

After fixing the two problems the compilation progressed till
source/extra.ustdio
and broke when linking. This is the error-

/apps/SUNWspro/bin/cc -xtarget=ultra -xarch=v9 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I../../common -I../../common -I../../i18n -xO3   -G -h  -o libustdio.so

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to a.out
gmake[2]: *** [libustdio.so] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/icu/icu/source/extra/ustdio'


Is this a known problem or is it a consequence of wrongly fixing the
first two problems ?

I will greatly appreciate your help.
