I've got sources for a program developed under Solaris in ANSI-C. I am told it was developed around 1996-1997. I'm currently struggling with compiling it under a current Ubuntu. I got pretty far and I think only the GUI is still missing. They used a library called guide for this it seems. Does anyone know, if this library still exists somewhere?
The relevant parts of the Makefile:
INCL = -I$(GUIDEHOME)/include -I$(OPENWINHOME)/include
LOAD = -L$(GUIDEHOME)/lib -L$(OPENWINHOME)/lib
LIB = -lguide -lguidexv -lxview -lolgx -lX -lm
TAG = -target sun4

As msw says, it appears that your application wants to use the OpenWindows and Xview libraries that were provided in older Sun systems.
I believe they're not even around on newer Solaris installs anymore, but the free software projects OpenWindows Augmented Compatibility Environment and The XView Toolkit may provide compatible-enough implementations of these libraries on newer systems.
