Subject: compilation error: gcc does not take -KPIC
Platform: Solaris2.X/Sparc
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.7 CVS 10-5-04
I tried to update Grass 5.3 and 5.7 from CVS today after a LONG time, and 5.3 compiled fine, but 5.7 didn't. Running make, gcc kept spitting out
"gcc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'"
This was never an issue before, and -KPIC isn't a flag when compiling 5.3. What does it do? How can I fix this?
Thanks,

-KPIC comes from the compile flags used for shared libraries. They are used on 5.3 if you pass the --enable-gmake=no option to configure. But actually if you tried this on 5.3 you wouldn't have got the error because I changed -KPIC to -fPIC for gcc on Solaris a few weeks ago.
Just this afternoon I applied the same change to 5.7 so if you update now and try again you should get a bit further. Please let us know how you get
on as the build doesn't get much testing on Solaris these days AFAIK.
