Hi Burkhard,

I had the same problem building against 3.14.4 on a
solaris-sparc-gnu host.

I did find the relevant line to comment out to get rid of
the -D solaris-sparc-gnu.
This is in the Makefile.Host in the "Tools" directory.
However, this only let my build go a bit further before
I ran into a problem with a missing header file "osiTime.h".
I think this file disappeared between 3.13 and 3.14 releases.

So, I'm assuming that, at the moment we cannot build the
ChannelArchiver against 3.14.4.

Is this correct?

Cheers,

Andy
