Re: Solaris5.8 build on Sparc

I tried to do an NSPR build on Solaris8 from the sources.



My Sun C++ Compiler doesn't work and gives me some license server 
error(server is down or not responding, even though lmgrd seems to be 
running...any ideas anyone???)





So I switched to using gcc to build NSPR using "make NS_USE_GCC=1"(I don't 
remember the exact flag).

Now it compiles with gcc but I get a compile error immediately.



-MD option not recognized.



The NSPR version I am using is 4.7.4.



Can anyone throw some light on this.



Thanks
