Building gtkmm under Sun Solaris
================================

This README refers currently only to Sun Forte[tm] C++ compiler (WS6U2)
under Solaris 8/Sparc.

The described procedure to compile gtkmm with Sun's commercial C++
compiler assumes the default compiler installation of Forte[tm] C++ 6
update 2. Furthermore all currently available product and adequate SunOS
patches for Forte[tm] C++ 6 update 2, which can be donwload from the
links given at http://access1.sun.com/sundev/fdp6u2-patches.html, have
to be applied. After that your compiler should give the following
version information:

  $ CC -V
  CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-10 2002/09/16

You will not be able to compile gtkmm with the unpatched compiler
installation. Also, it is important to hide any gcc installation
from your PATH.


The installation procedure:

* Recent version of the following GNU utilities should be avalaible in
  your PATH:

    make        (3.79.1)
    libtool     (1.4.2)
    m4          (1.4)
    perl        (5.6.1)

    The version information (in brackets) apply to my GNU installation.

* Assumed your compiler installation is in /opt/SUNWspro, the following
  environment changes are required:

    PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:$PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    CC="cc"
    CXX="CC"
    LD="CC"
    CFLAGS="-g"         or "-g -xO3" for better optimization
    CXXFLAGS="-g"       or "-g -O3" for better optimization
    export CC CXX LD CFLAGS CXXFLAGS

* Select an installation directory ($PREFIX).

* The image libraries jpeg-6b, libpng-1.2.5 and tiff-v3.5.7 are pre-
  requisites to build gtk+ libraries. They can be obtained from
  www.sunfreeware.com or build from source. Compiling from source
  requires some manual corrections (basically prefix settings in the
  makefiles), because their build mechanism are rather old. All three
  libraries should be build as shared libraries and installed to the
  choosen installation directory.

* gtk+-Installation. For each package of pkgconfig-0.12.0, glib-2.0.6,
  atk-1.0.3, pango-1.0.4, gtk+-2.0.6 do:

    cd <package-path>
    CPPFLAGS=-I$PREFIX/include CFLAGS="-I$PREFIX/include $CFLAGS" \
    ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
    make
    make install

* gtkmm-Installation. For each package of libsigc++-1.2.x, gtkmm-2.0.x do:

    cd <package-path>
    ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
    make
    make install

* Verification can easily done by

    cd gtkmm-1.2.x/examples
    make

    and testing all built executables.


Feel free to contact the gtkmm mailing list in case of problems compiling gtkmm under Sun
Solaris.
