Sorry, all, I'm not making a Makefile for each user-contributed test program. However, this is how I compiled Dr. Thomas Hamelryck's test.cc on a Solaris machine using SunOS; you'll need to substitute in the all-caps []'d parts with the actual values extracted from your Makefiles. [CC] -c -ggdb3 -Wno-unused -DUNIX -fpic -D_REENTRANT -I[GPPINCL] -I[LIBGISTHOME/include] test.cc [CC] -I[LIBGISTHOME/include] -L[LIBGISTHOME/lib] test.o -o test -lbtree -lrtree -lnptree -lgist -lm -lstdc++ (I'm not claiming this is the shortest command line that will work. Merely that it is the one that worked for me.) -Megan Thomas, November 2001
