Hi Clay,
THX for your answer. I used v. 1.8.4. where I can't find the parameter "-shared" in the makefile (see below). Which version did you mean?
For now I've used the binary version from
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/ which works fine for almost everything.
My Makefile:
#Depending on your system, you will need to modify this makefile.
#If you do not have gcc, change the setting for COMPILER, but you must
#use an ANSI standard C compiler (NOT the old SunOS 4.1.3 cc
#compiler; get gcc if you are still using it).
COMPILER=gcc
#If the ar command fails on your system, consult the ar manpage
#for your system.
AR=ar
#If you don't have FreeType, libjpeg and/or Xpm installed, including the
#header files, uncomment this (default). You really must install
#libpng and zlib to get anywhere if you wish to create PNG images.
CFLAGS=-O -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBFREETYPE
#If you do have FreeType, libjpeg and/or Xpm fully installed, uncomment a
#variation of this and comment out the line above. See also LIBS below.
#To use the old FreeType 1.x library, add this additional #define
#to the line above
#-DHAVE_LIBTTF
#If you don't have FreeType Xpm fully installed, uncomment this
#(default).
#PLEASE NOTE: YOU MAY HAVE TO JUGGLE THE ORDER OF THE LIBRARIES.
#Some systems are very picky about link order. They don't all agree
#on the right order, either.
#LIBS=-lgd -lpng -lz
#If you do have FreeType, JPEG and/or Xpm fully installed, uncomment a
#variation of this and comment out the line above. Note that
#Xpm requires X11. See also CFLAGS above.
LIBS=-lgd -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype
#Note: for Freetype 1.x, use DHAVE_LIBTTF and -lttf instead.
#Typical install locations for freetype, zlib, xpm, libjpeg and libpng header
#files. If yours are somewhere else, change this. -I. is important to
#ensure that the version of gd you are installing is used, and not an
#older release in your directory tree somewhere.
INCLUDEDIRS=-I. -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/local/include
#Typical install locations for freetype, zlib, xpm and libpng libraries.
#If yours are somewhere else, other than a standard location
#such as /lib or /usr/lib, then change this. Be sure to keep
#-L. as this allows the gd library itself to be found.
#Put -L. first so that old versions of the gd library elsewhere
#on your system can't cause conflicts while building a new one.
#This line shouldn't hurt if you don't actually have some of the
#optional libraries and directories.
LIBDIRS=-L. -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib
#Location where libgd.a should be installed by "make install".
INSTALL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
#Location where .h files should be installed by "make install".
INSTALL_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include
#Location where useful non-test programs should be installed by "make install".
INSTALL_BIN=/usr/local/bin
#

Changes should not be required below here.
