Compile freetype 1.3.1 on Solaris 2.7 Sparc

[Xiaolin Allen Zhao]

Hi, All,

        I have a big problem to compile freetype 1.3 on Solaris 2.7. 

        After ./configure, the make gave the following: 

/usr/include/X11/Xutil.h:871: warning: type defaults to `int' in
declaration of'
/usr/include/X11/Xutil.h:879: warning: type defaults to `int' in

Current working directory /opt/home2/xlz/working/freetype-1.3.1/test
*** Error code 1

        The gcc is in version 2.8.1. I could not use the gcc 2.95.2 for
the work, as the gcc binary installation will mess up the lib, and send
any compiled executable to core dump after finishing the job successfully.
Well, I could not compile gcc 2.95.2 using gcc 2.8.1 either. It was fatal
error in "make" as well.

        My question: is it a freetype related or gcc related? It looks
like gcc related so far, but I would like to hear some success story on
Solaris first.

        Best regards,

        Allen Zhao
