Get the newest beta from ftp.hylafax.org, 

Then change the configure script: (it don't work with gcc2.95)

I hotfixed it with looking for checkGCCVersion
and comment it with "#".
In the my beta it was row 913.


then there is an error in port/mkdepend :
on my sparc Solris 2.4 it was:

/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/2.../../../sparc-sun-solaris2.4/include/assert.h

is generated instead of
/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/include/assert.h \ 
or
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/2.95/../../../sparc-sun-solaris2.4/include/assert.h

This came originally from Bet.Deknuydt@esat.kuleuven.ac.be:
HylaFAX is not totally const-clean; 
gcc 2.95 no longer tolerates this by default; 
you can force it to, by adding the
'-fpermissive' flag somewhere in de defs file. (E.g. by setting
LC++OPTS)

Hope that helps compiling Hylafax
