./configure problems on Solaris 2.5.1 with SunPro compilers

[Larry Williamson <larry@mitra.com>]

I have scanned the mail archives but found only one suggestion, and it
was singularly unhelpful (compile gcc then hylafax:-( not always an
option). 

On a sparc solaris 2.5.1 system, I am trying to configure
hylafax-v4.0pl1.

I don't think the problem is with the compiler, at least if I copy
that code sample, the compiler has no trouble with it.  

In configure, on line 1308, I put an echo debug statement to see what
the value of C++F and C++FLAGS is for the compile...

| # Verify everything is setup for the C++ runtime environment.
| #
| CheckForCXXRuntime()
| {
| cat>t.c++<<EOF
| #include "new.h"
| int main(){ int* a = new int; *a = 0; delete a; return 0;}
| EOF
|#### This echo might help track down the compile problem.../larry
|     echo command line is "${C++F} ${C++FILE} ${MAKECXXOVERRIDE}"
|     runMake t "t:; \${C++F} \${C++FILE} t.c++${MAKECXXOVERRIDE}"
| }
| CheckForCXXRuntime || {
|     cat 1>&2 <<EOF

I see this message ...

|
| command line is   =.C
|

suggesting that C++F and C++FLAGS have not been set to anything at
all.  

I have tried to follow the logic in configure, but it was really not
meant for human eyes to follow. Attached below is the complete output
of configure (with my diag message)...

Kind regards,
Larry
