Look in /usr/openwin/lib/config and read sun.cf. You might want to edit
the site.cf settings but I prefer to use defines at compile time.

The make commands I use are:

    imake -DHasGcc2 -DUseInstalled -I/usr/openwin/lib/X11/config
    make IMAKE_DEFINES='-DHasGcc2' \
    MFLAGS='IMAKE_DEFINES="-DHasGcc2"' \
    Makefiles
    make CDEBUGFLAGS="-Os"

It needs a little work to get the "HasGcc2" passed around.
That will use any gcc, not just gcc2. I have gcc3.

I also patched the source to get dynamic libraries (maybe there is a
flag but I gave up and edited config/NetAudio.tmpl, #define SharedLibX
YES). Also clients/audio/util/checkmail is not going to work on Solaris
so I modified that to use $MAIL or /var/mail/$USER.

Save yourself the hassle and use a pre-compiled (with Sun cc Studio 8)
binary package:

It's waiting before full release, any feedback gladly received.
