But it tries to compile drawboard3d.c

after complaining about TRUE and FALSE being re-defined between
config.h and /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h, it then dies
with:

In file included from drawboard3d.c:30:
inc3d.h:83: parse error before "Material"
inc3d.h:84: parse error before '*' token
inc3d.h:85: parse error before '*' token
inc3d.h:86: parse error before '*' token
inc3d.h:87: parse error before '*' token
inc3d.h:92: parse error before "Path"
inc3d.h:93: parse error before '*' token
inc3d.h:94: parse error before '*' token

(a minor nit - there are a lot of C++ style comments. It's not safe to
assume that a C compiler will accept these).

I think people without the 3d libraries are going to have some
problems building.

Not really - it appears to spend all it's time in the thread scheduler
without actually doing anything. Short of trying to rebuild all of the
libraries involved with debugging symbols, no, I don't have an
idea. I'll be curious to see if Holger can get it running under
Solaris or if the MAC-OS versions work with this

Probably, but as the machine is not at hand at the moment, I can't
verify that.
