[MITgcm-devel] MITgcm on SunOS

[Martin Losch]

Hi Ed,
how do you specify the cyrus-imapd-makedepend?
I went into that directory and there were a few *.c and *.o files and 
yes, now that you say it, I remember seeing an error message that 
cyrus-something failed.
in tools/cyrus-imapd-makedepend, I now type
make clean
./configure (exit 0)
make depend && make
and the compilation stalls with main.c:
invalid use of undefined type `struct sigvec'
and
storage size of `sig_act' isn't known.
and
There ain't no SUNshine when ....

Martin
