Are you sure you followed the instructions in the INSTALL file? Here is a
repeat of what seems to be the correct part for you. Note step 2.

** SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x) ***************************
On SunOS 4.1.3 with OpenWindows, you need to do the following:
1) Edit the Imakefile to add -Dsun to the DEFINES and (if necessary)
to uncomment the XMULIB line (delete the # at the front of the line):
DEFINES = -DHAS_GETTIMEOFDAY -Dsun
...
# If you get the following linker error messages on SunOS, you have
# hit a known bug in the SunOS linker (ld).
# ld: Undefined symbol
# _get_wmShellWidgetClass
# _get_applicationShellWidgetClass
# To work around it, try uncommenting this if you are using Sun's C compiler:
XMULIB = -Bstatic -lXmu -Bdynamic
# ... or this if you are using gcc:
# XMULIB = -static -lXmu -dynamic
# Ask Sun for patches 100512-02 and 100573-03 to get the real fix.
2) The xmkmf in at least some versions of OpenWindows is broken.
Instead of running xmkmf, try this:
/usr/openwin/bin/imake -DStandardIncludes=-I/usr/openwin/include \
-DUseInstalled -I/usr/openwin/lib/config \
-DDefaultCCOptions=-L/usr/openwin/lib
Without this, the Makefile will not know about the include files and
libraries in /usr/openwin.
Thanks to Ed Hanway for some of this information, and thanks to Jim
Daly for letting me log onto his machine and figure out the rest of it
myself.
I currently don't know how to make xboard run on SunOs 4.1.3 with
Motif (as opposed to OpenWindows). Contact me if you can help. On SunOS 4.1.3
