<pre>To get over errors compiling the latest intel driver on solaris with pkgsrc
I needed to do the following quick and dirty patch:
<span class="quote">>--- src/sna/sna_display.c.orig 2014-12-20 13:45:31.000000000 +0000

perhaps adding a configure time check to allow
<span class="quote">>#if HAVE_ALLOCA
>#include <alloca.h>
>#endif</span >
would be preferable.
At the same time I notice an error in configure using `pwd` with arguments.
Some shells, such as pdksh, balk at that thus:
./configure[24230]: pwd: too many arguments
<span class="quote">>xf86-video-intel 2.99.917 will be compiled with:
> Xorg Video ABI version: 12.1
> Acceleration backends: none *sna uxa
> Additional debugging support? none
> Support for Kernel Mode Setting? yes
> Support for legacy User Mode Setting (for i810)? yes
> Support for Direct Rendering Infrastructure: DRI1 DRI2
> Support for Xv motion compensation (XvMC and libXvMC): no
> Build additional tools and utilities? none</span >
this is the ugly line:
<span class="quote">>24230 test -e `pwd $0`/README && cat `pwd $0`/README</span ></pre>
