@section (Open)Solaris
GNU Make is required to build FFmpeg, so you have to invoke (@file{gmake}),
standard Solaris Make will not work. Depending on your system configuration
you might be using a non-POSIX-compatible default shell. Ensure that a
POSIX-compatible shell is in your path or invoke it directly.
standard Solaris Make will not work. When building with a non-c99 front-end
(gcc, generic suncc) add either @code{--extra-libs=/usr/lib/32/values-xpg6.o}
or @code{--extra-libs=/usr/lib/64/values-xpg6.o} to the configure options
since the libc is not c99-compliant by default. The probes performed by
configure may raise an exception leading to the death of configure itself
due to a bug in the system shell. Simply invoke a different shell such as
bash directly to work around this:
@example
bash ./configure
@end example
