Win32 API 1.1.1 compilation problems

Question

We don't (alas) use Sun's compilers here, so I've
tried to compile the Win32 emulation library, version
1.1.1, using gcc 3.3.2. It yields the warnings and
outright errors listed below. I think it's a little
appalling that Sun didn't at least try this
themselves; it would give them some clues as to what
kinds of problems their own compilers aren't catching,
beyond the effect of getting them to notice and fix
these particular problems.

The Solaris(TM) OE Implementation for Win32 API Version 1.0 has been compiled by the WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15 C 5.0 at SUN.
All the source files have ".c" extension which mean you can not use the "CC"/C++ compiler to compile it. You must use the C compiler "Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2" instead of C++ compiler "Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C++ 5.2" to compile this package.
Hope this will help.
Thanks!
