So here comes my standard rant about build automation tools ... if
people aren't capable of using them, they shouldn't be allowed to...
And the gtk/glib people, as best I can tell, were not capable of using
pkgconfig properly.  I've had to hack the .pc files on every system I
use.  It looks like you will, too.

I'm not sure *exactly* what your library dependencies are, you'll have
to figure them out for sure, but you need to dig into your
gdk-x11-2.0.pc file and add '-L/usr/openwin/lib/' to the Libs line, as
well as '-l<lib>' for some set of libraries ... unfortunately, on
Solaris, I'm not sure what those libraries might be.  Try '-lXext
-lXi'.  If it doesn't have '-lX11' already, add that too.
