[Spruce-list] Build problem with Spruce 0.7.2 on Solaris 2.6

[<cg...@ma...>]

I'm trying to build Spruce 0.7.2 on Solaris 2.6.

I have built and installed glib-1.2.8 and gtk+-1.2.8 OK with no
problems (except the time it took!).

I have run ./configure on Spruce with just one option:-
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/chris
this runs OK with no errors.

However, when I try make I get:-

    /usr/ccs/bin/make  all-recursive

Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?
