[Gm2] Unable to build libgm2 on Mac 10.9.5 (Inrtel), Mac 10.5.8 (PPC), or Solaris 10 (Sparc)

[john o goyo]

I downloaded the file gcc-4.7.4+gm2-git-latest.tar.gz from floppsie (it 
took an hour at 0300) and tried to build on all three machines: G5 
running 10.5.8, iBook running 10.9.5, and SB 2500 running Solaris 10. 
Here are my results.

On Mac 10.9.5 (and 10.5.8), the build simply ends with the following line.

true  DO=all multi-do # /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make


On Solaris 10, the build simply ends with the following line (and gmake 
then unwinds its directory tree).

true  DO=all multi-do # gmake


In neither case is libgm2 built.  I am mystified as to why it builds on 
Linux systems but not these Unix systems.  Recall that building 
gm2-4.1.2 was not a problem.  (One difference noted is that some scripts 
seem to invoke /bin/sh, which is not bash, despite specifying SHELL on 
the configuration file.  I know not whether this plays any role.)

If anyone has built libgm2 under gm2-4.7.4 on a non-Linux system, I 
would be most grateful to learn of the details.
