[Expat-discuss] Problems compiling expat 1.95.7 on Solaris 8 with gcc 3.4.1

[John.Hockaday at ga.gov.au]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile expat1.95.7 on a Solaris 8 platform using gcc 3.4.1.  I
configure as follows:

./configure --prefix=/public/data/asddgate

But when I do a make or a PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH make I get many warnings as
follows:

/bin/ksh ./libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -g -O2 -Wall
-Wmissing-prototypes
 -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H   -I./lib -I. -o
