flexfax: Hylafax-v4.0pl2 & Solaris 7/x86

["James A. Nykiel" <jnykiel@yahoo.com>]

Greetings:


I am attempting to compile hylafax-v4.0pl2 on my Solaris 7/x86 machine 
with gcc-2.95 but have been unable to!.
     
I have since found out that in order to compile hylafax-v4.0pl2 with 
gcc-2.8.x or better I would need to apply a patch to the hylafax-v4.0pl2 
source code to do so (the patch is called "gcc-2.8.x.patch").
     
I am not using GNU Patch or Diff and when I attempt to apply this patch 
as instructed I receive the following message and thats it!:
     
patch -p1 < gcc-2.8.x.patch                                             
  Looks like a new-style context diff.
File to patch: 
     
Also when I run "./configure" for hylafax-v4.0pl2 it threatens me that 
it cannot locate a C++/G++ compiler on my system (There is...).
     
     
Any help greatly appreciated...
