compiling/installing qemacs on Solaris

Some observations, while trying to compile and install qemacs-0.3.1
on Solaris.  I'm trying to be helpful, not critical.


1.  In the Makefile, about line 78, there was
LDFLAGS+=-Wl,-E

This -E option caused problems for gcc and I had to remove it.

2.  I had lots of problems with the Makefile's 'install' goal.

install: qe qe.1 kmaps ligatures html2png
	install -m 755 qe $(prefix)/bin/qemacs
	ln -sf qemacs $(prefix)/bin/qe
ifdef CONFIG_FFMPEG
	ln -sf qemacs $(prefix)/bin/ffplay
endif
	mkdir -p $(prefix)/share/qe
	install kmaps ligatures $(prefix)/share/qe
	install qe.1 $(prefix)/man/man1
	install -m 755 -s html2png $(prefix)/bin
	
	
I had problems with compiling html2png, so I removed it.

The first line inside the goal
	install -m 755 qe $(prefix)/bin/qemacs
seemed incorrect.  I changed it to
	install -m 755 qe $(prefix)/bin
	
In the end I had to manually copy the qe, kmaps, ligatures
and qe.1 files into the indicated locations.  I'm not sure
what I'm doing wrong (or what the fatal differences are
between my system and the developer's).


*****

But qemacs is now installed and starting to work!  

I'll be asking about KMAPS and fonts in subsequent messages.
