Hi Achim,

the solution is rather straight forward:

you make up a dummy.c that contains something like:

int main(void) { return 0; }

then you edit the makefile.am in the directory where the library sources are 
and add the dummy.c file to the sources of libcups

I had to use this trick, too, when building the kde packages for solaris 8

The real error is probably somewhere in libtool, but I didn't bother to search 
for it.

regards,
	matze
