The comments:
# To build a module dynamically, you'll need to define CFLAGS_DYNAMIC for
# your platform. Eg:
# CFLAGS_DYNAMIC=-shared -rdynamic
# CFLAGS_DYNAMIC=-shared -rdynamic -fPIC
in src/EDITME are misleading. You need to provide a value for
CFLAGS_DYNAMIC as scripts/lookups-Makefile insists on it. Although
setting:
CFLAGS_DYNAMIC=
seems to work, at least on OpenBSD4.8, and might be provided as a
default.
This release candidate fails to build on Solaris5.10 and, so far,
it's scripts/lookups-Makefile that's the problem. I'd guess that
this script was imported from some Linux box where /bin/sh is a
version of bash. This script make assumptions about the shell
scripting language available that simply aren't true for the more
primitive /bin/sh on Solaris.
The scripts/lookups-Makefile also make assumptions about:
(1) The grep command. The "-q" argument isn't available with the
Solaris version of grep.
(2) The syntax of the tr command. You can't write:
tr A-Z a-z
on Solaris. It needs to be:
tr [A-Z] [a-z]
