[x264-devel] Failures on Solaris (SunOS 5.10)

[tom at dbservice.com]

First, ./configure contains bashisms (like ${host%%-*} ) but executes  
under /bin/sh. If you rely on bash-specific features then the script  
should be run under /bin/bash.

Second, solaris doesn't have isfinite, but has _finite, just like  
OpenBSD. I had to add an #ifdef to common/osdep.h. Do you want me to  
send a patch?

Third, if I run ./configure under bash, then the script sees that  
'echo -n' works. However if I later execute gmake (make doesn't work),  
echo -n doesn't seem to work as .depend contains strange lines like  
'-n common/'. I think that's because gmake executes the commands using  
sh and not bash. Is there a way to fix that?

Why I'm posting this? Well, I was just introduced to the Sun Fire  
T1000 servers (8GB RAM and 6 CPUs, 24 threads) that our University  
has. If you want me to make performance tests, I'd gladly do that.
