[cups.general] cups-1.3.8 on Solaris 10

[Norm Jacobs]

Building CUPS on Solaris is pretty straight forward.  It's pretty much a 
matter of running configure and make.  It should build with current 
Studio or GCC  If you can live with 1.3.0, the current Solaris 10 
Software Companion contains a built and packaged version of 1.3.0 (see 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/companion/).  If you are are 
interested in Solaris Nevada or OpenSolaris 2008.05, the current builds 
include 1.3.7 packaged and installed by default.  This being said, if 
your problem is a driver issue (device or printer), a new version of 
CUPS isn't necessarily going to solve it.

I downloaded the cups source code 1.3.8 but I am unable to compile the code. Can someone please guide me on how to compile the code and get it to work.
