Well, everything has been solved. I managed to build xv-3.00a and
mpeg_play-2.0, but not without some tweaking of the Makefiles.

I must say that the Makefile for mpeg_play-2.0 needs work [Authors?]
You cannot include an include path by simply appending the include
directory in CFLAGS, especially not without the '-I' prefix, as I found
out as well as some of the respondents as well.

INCLUDEDIR = /usr/openwin/share/include/X11
CFLAGS = -O3 -DSH_MEM -DNDEBUG -DBSD -DNONANSI_INCLUDES $(INCLUDEDIR)

Also hard paths such as these, especially when they are incorrect, do
not make life easy:

LIBS = /usr/lib/libX11.a /usr/lib/libXext.a

I used the following as suggested:

LIBS = -lX11 -lXext

There are also errors in the Imakefile for xv-3.00a for SunOS 4.1.3 builds.
SunOS 4.1.3's X11 include path was not in /usr/lib/X11 but rather in
/usr/openwin/lib/X11 and the include files are in /usr/openwin/include/X11.
For authors, here's what the old Makefile looked like:

        USRLIBDIR = $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib
           BINDIR = $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/X11
          INCROOT = $(DESTDIR)/usr/include
     BUILDINCROOT = $(TOP)
      BUILDINCDIR = $(BUILDINCROOT)/X11
      BUILDINCTOP = ..
           INCDIR = $(INCROOT)/X11
           ADMDIR = $(DESTDIR)/usr/adm
           LIBDIR = $(USRLIBDIR)/X11

I am not picking on you, but I wanted to state for the record that, due to
painstaking development, we have a very unique simulator running here that
is 8 years in the making. And after $40 million bucks, it's not easy to do
a rewrite. Sun has unfortunately put people like us into a hole. Either
stay with an obviously obsolete product, or spend megabucks to port every-
thing over to Solaris 2.x. If we ask this of our department, we won't have
a simulator... and no project to speak of.
