i am trying to bring up XFree86-4.4.0 on solaris-8/SPARC. I have built the XFree86 source on solaris 8/SPARC, during which i have done the following.
1. Edited
#define BuildXFree86OnSparcSunOS YES
#define ThreadedX NO
in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/bindist/Solaris/host.def
2. Copy host.def as
cp xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/bindist/Solaris/host.def xc/config/cf/
3. vi config/imake/Makefile.ini
change CC = gcc
PREPROCESS_CMD = gcc -E
4. make World > World.log 2>&1
tail -f World.log
During building i got the error in xc/programs/glxinfo/ directory that __eprintf: symbol referencing error. for that change CC=g++ in Makefile of glxinfo directory.
then again i build it with just make.
got an error of png.h not found. For that install libpng and build once again.
After building, i installed the binaries by the command
make install
then while i try to configure by
XFree86 -configure
i got the following error log. can anybody give me the solution for this?...

Read these. Then follow that up with README.Solaris.
