Thanks for spotting that.

I configured my 32-bit build with this line:

../gstreamer-0.10.2/configure --prefix=/opt/csw/tmp32
--with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/csw --with-libintl-prefix=/opt/csw
--enable-failing-tests --enable-docbook --enable-gtk-doc
--with-as=/opt/gnu/bin/as --with-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
--without-gnu-ld --enable-shared --disable-static CFLAGS=-m32

I don't know why "-I/usr/lib/amd64/glib-2.0/include" is being used but I'll
look into it.

I suspected (from the errors) some difficulty with the casts (or size of
variables) so I went to a new build directory and did a 64-bit build with this
configure script:

../gstreamer-0.10.2/configure --prefix=/opt/csw/tmp64
--with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/csw --with-libintl-prefix=/opt/csw
--enable-failing-tests --enable-docbook --enable-gtk-doc
--with-as=/opt/gnu/bin/as --with-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
--without-gnu-ld --enable-shared --disable-static CFLAGS=-m64

That is the exact same configure script _except_ for the CFLAGS.

When I build the 64-bit version I only get a couple of dozen warning (as
opposed to 1000's) but ultimately the build fails here:

I had the same problem when I compiled a much earlier version of GStreamer and
repaired it by editing docs/gst/Makefile and changing (line 178):

GST_ALL_CFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/libs -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_builddir)
-D_REENTRANT -D_PTHREADS -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/amd64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2   $(GST_OPTION_CFLAGS)

to

GST_ALL_CFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/libs -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_builddir)
-D_REENTRANT -D_PTHREADS -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/amd64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2   $(GST_OPTION_CFLAGS)
$(CFLAGS)

and changing (line 768):

            CFLAGS="$(GTKDOC_CFLAGS)" LDFLAGS="$(GTKDOC_LIBS)"          \

to

            CFLAGS="$(GTKDOC_CFLAGS)" LDFLAGS="$(GTKDOC_LIBS) $(CFLAGS)" \

My CFLAGS are simply either "CFLAGS=-m32" or "CFLAGS=-m64".

When I get this new version running I will find the correct file to put a
proper fix into and submit a tiny "gdiff". 

The use of "non-g-prefixed" utilities is another issue (on Solaris). The main
configure script checks for "sed" _before_ it checks for gsed. Solaris has it's
own "sed" that does not accept all the commands that GNU sed does. 

Configure scripts that run on Solaris must check for g-prefixed versions of
utilities before they look for the non-g-prefixed version (and can test the
"/usr/xpg4/bin" and "/usr/xpg6/bin" directories for Posix compatable utilities
instead of searching for the "traditional" Sun versions of these utilites
(unless the configure script wants to use the Sun command parameters when using
the Sun utilites). 

Let's not worry about that in _this_ bug report.

Lets stick with
"http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.20.tar.bz2" does
not compile without warnings on gcc 3.4.3 (Solaris's
"vendor supplied gcc" - which I am trying to upgrade to 4.x series).

Thanks for reading my post, Jan.
