Subject: [suse-sparc] Problems compiling VNC on an Ultra 5

    Hi folks,
    I'm running Suse 7.1 on a Sparc Ultra5, and I'm having some trouble
    installing VNC. The rpm I installed from the Suse CDs gave me a
    garbled display on my Windows 2000 client, and a quick Google turned
    up someone having the same problem on Red Hat/Sparc last year
    (http://www.tridiavnc.com/list-mailist/2001-02/0265.html).

    I've followed the advice given in there, including adding the Sparc
    patch, and all goes well until I go into the newly-created Xvnc
    directory and try to do a 'make World'. Then I get the usual compiler
    chatter, followed at the end by:

    -DCPP_PROGRAM="\"/lib/cpp\"" -c -o imake.o imake.c
    gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
    make[2]: *** [imake.o] Error 1
    make[2]: Leaving directory
    `/usr/local/shared/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/config/imake'
    make[1]: *** [imake.bootstrap] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/shared/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc'
    make: *** [World] Error 2
    root@bensparc:/usr/local/shared/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc >

    I had a go at reading the Xvnc docs, as instructed by the VNC readme,
    but it didn't mean much to me.

    Can anyone shed any light on this?

    TIA,

    Ben
