Building Base on Solaris 9

Hello,

I installed gcc version 2.95.3 from one of the distribution CD’s of Solaris 9.

It went into /opt/sfw.

I am at the moment stuck on lib FFI. I built and installed version 1.20 from the gcc.gnu.org site.

The last lines of me running the configure script of gnu step base are :

checking ffi.h usability... yes

checking ffi.h presence... yes

checking for ffi.h... yes

checking callback.h usability... yes

checking callback.h presence... yes

checking for callback.h... yes

checking for forwarding callback in runtime... no

checking FFI library usage... none

You do not have an up-to-date libobjc library installed

GNUstep requires libffi (or ffcall) and proper libobjc hooks to do

invocations and DO.

(This does not apply on apple-apple-apple systems where DO is

not compatible with other GNUstep systems.)

You most likely do not want to build base without invocation support.

Many things (including Distributed Objects and undo/redo), won't work

at all without invocations.

If you really want to build -base without invocation support,

add --disable-invocations to the configure arguments.

For more information, read the GNUstep build guide, ffcall section:

configure: error: Incomplete support for ffi functionality.

I have lib FFI installed on /usr/local/ and my pkg config file in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig describing it is below :

prefix=/usr/local

exec_prefix=${prefix}

libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib

includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: libffi

Description: Lib FFI

Version: 1.20

Libs: -L${libdir} -lffi

Cflags: -I${includedir}

Can you help me !

Thanks,

Regards
