Build and runtime notes from users:
V3.5.1
- Changes to the imake template files in XFree86 4.1 appear to have caused build problems with all versions of XNotesPlus V3.5. A workaround solution was implemented, but these changes may break builds on non-XFree86 based (re: non-Linux) systems. If you had problems building V3.5 from the source and encountered an error relating to "no target for xnotes+.man", try V3.5.1 and see if that fixes the problem. V3.5.1 only contains build fixes. There are no fixes for functional problems included in this release.

Solaris 2.8: The default
compiler for Solaris accepts options that gcc does not. The stock
imake template files for Solaris 2.8 expect you to use the default compiler.
Because of this, compilation with gcc will fail. Your choices are
to either use the default compiler (instead of gcc), which may or may not
work, or to edit all Makefiles and remove the following options:
-Xc -xF -xcg92
I don't have access to a Solaris system so can't develop a workaround for this problem. Additionally, the pilot-d/* directories appear to not honor the request for gcc and try to compile with cc. This will fail if you tried to use gcc instead. The work around is to either use the default compiler or (possibly, I have no way to verify this currently) edit the Imakefiles in each directory under pilot-d and add "CC=gcc" right before each call to NormalLibraryTarget or ComplexProgramTarget... (this may be one of several versions of this call). I may be able to fix this but without access to Solaris systems I can't test it.
