Note for Solaris users (updated for 1.6.6):

AfterStep builds and runs on (at least) the following versions of Solaris:

        Solaris 2.5.1 with SunPro C 4.2 or gcc 2.7.2
        Solaris 2.4 with IXI Motif and SunPro C 3.0.1

It ought to build on Solaris 2.4 with normal OpenWindows too.

There may be problems running some parts of AfterStep on 8bpp screens; these
are not problems with Solaris per se - they affect all platforms.

The configure script on Solaris is a bit flaky.  What you have to do to
compile AfterStep on a Solaris machine is:

 o if you do have libXpm on your system, you have to give configure this
   argument --with-xpm-library=/path/to/where/it/is (it's probably
   /usr/local/lib or in some cases /usr/openwin/lib)

 o if you don't have libXpm you have to run configure with --with-xpm=no

 o the same applies to libjpeg and libpng, if you do have them then pass
   configure --with-png-library=/path/to/it --with-jpeg-library=/path/to/it 
   
 o if you don't have lipng and libjpeg, pass configure with-png=no
   with-jpeg=no.

Hope this helps! Good luck.
