Subject: Compiling pine with gcc on Solaris 2.4?

I have not had any luck compiling pine under Solaris 2.4.  The
binaries work fine, but I always have to add a fix that has been on the
pine wish list for the last 3 or 4 years and never implemented.
   I've compiled with the unbundled C compiler on a SPARC II and with gcc
2.7.2 on a SPARC 4.  Both times I did the "build sol".  It would go for
a ways and then barf on declarations.  I looked at the makefile.sol and
uncommented lines for gcc, but none of my modifications seemed to make
much difference.  Both systems do _not_ have the BSD compatibility
package installed.  I think it's a little odd that pine does not compile
out of the box.
   Has anyone figured out how to compile pine using gcc on Solaris?

David Drum has.  He sent me this short replay.  I tried it with gcc-2.7.1 and 
as David points out, with a few warnings it compiles.

David provides a patch and some instructions to apply it.

Good luck.
