Hi,

Has anybody here been successful in compiling boinc for Solaris 10
Sparc?

Using the standard gcc / gmake installed i get the following:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/tank/downloads/seti/boinc/api'
if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -fPIC -DPIC -I../lib -I../api

It looks like the makefile is trying to use some Sun WorkShop C
command line flags ("-xstrconst") with gcc. That's not going to
work. You'll need to find out where those flags are coming from and
fix them.

(At a guess, it might have to do with the fact that you're trying to
link with things in /usr/sfw, and those things are compiled using
Sun's C. Note that Sun's C compiler is available for free.)
