Indeed.

Finally I figured out what was wrong. To configure I am using the following
influential environment variables:

CC=gcc64 CXX=g++64 CFLAGS="-I/opt/gnu/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gnu/lib/amd64 -R/opt/gnu/lib/amd64"

However, with these setting the compiler (the libtool actually) cannot find file

 spiroentrypoints.h

So I copied all spiro files from /opt/gnu/include in the fontforge
folder and this overwrote the
spiro.h file! The solution is to configure with

CC=gcc64 CXX=g++64 CFLAGS="-I/opt/gnu/include"
LIBSPIRO_CFLAGS="-I/opt/gnu/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gnu/lib/amd64 -R/opt/gnu/lib/amd64"

I have tried it and it works. Now configure contains the following lines:


FONTFORGE_DATE_NOW=${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:-$(date +'%s')}
FONTFORGE_DATE_OPTS="--date=@${FONTFORGE_DATE_NOW}"
if ! date --version 2>/dev/null ; then
  # Use POSIX date instead of GNU date on BSD systems
  FONTFORGE_DATE_OPTS="-j -f %s ${FONTFORGE_DATE_NOW}"
fi
FONTFORGE_MODTIME="$(date -u $FONTFORGE_DATE_OPTS +'%s')L"
FONTFORGE_MODTIME_STR="$(date -u $FONTFORGE_DATE_OPTS +'%H:%M %Z %e-%b-%Y')"
FONTFORGE_VERSIONDATE="$(date -u $FONTFORGE_DATE_OPTS +'%Y%m%d')"

The if command does not work at all! And one must use GNU date or else
the other commands fail.
So after I commented our the if command configure finished with no
problem and compilation
finished as well.

I am using Illumos/OpenIndiana, the open version of Solaris.

PS Please, if it is possible, add a README.Solaris flle that contains
this information so that others who may try to
compile FF will not have to go through all these.
