Hi, you need the Solaris cross-compiler. Then, you have to make sure
that it is called from the makefile. It is very common that the name of
the compiler is stored in a varaiable like CC or CXX for the C and C++
compiler. If it is the case, you can simply execute

CC="your_Solaris_C_compiler" CXX="your_Solaris_C++_compiler" make
