[Spread-users] Spread build failure on Solaris 8 + Sun WorkShop

[minfrin at sharp.fm]

Hi all,

When trying to build spread v3.17.3 on the system below using the Sun
compiler, the ./configure script inserts "-shared" into SHLD instead of
"-G", and this breaks at the linking stage.

Do more recent copies of autoconf than v2.13 fix this problem?

bash-2.03$ uname -a
SunOS fodev01 5.8 Generic_117350-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R
bash-2.03$ cc -V
cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11

Regards,
Graham
