Subject: Pine port to Solaris?

I'm looking for a pine port for Solaris 2.x (2.3 is preferred).  I don't
have access to the motif libraries, so I can't compile it for myself.  (If
I remember correctly, you need motif to compile pine).

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Cory

Hi,
	What is this about needing motif to compile pine?  Is this true? 
I have never heard of this and I was just wondering.

Nope; not true.

(A Pine supporter at Nokia is working on a Motif version, but the 
"standard" Pine is a character-based application that does not use Motif.
Some of us run it from within xterm windows under the Motif Window 
Manager, but Pine itself knows nothing about GUIs.)

I'm not sure why Pine would require Motif as it is (at present at least) a
text-based mail user agent. 

I have built Pine successfully under Solaris 2.3 using the `Solaris 
port', i.e. 

	build sol

Ian.

	First, you remember *incorrectly*.  You don't need motif or anything
else X to complie pine.

	Second, I've not tried it since I don't have Solaris, it has been
suggested that "Add -Dconst= to the CFLAGS for makefile.sol in the pine 
subdirectory."
