A bit of butchery is needed to get 1.19.r5 going on Solaris. This post is for the archives.

perdition/db/daemon headers include str.h and managesieve_write.h which leads to:
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
managesieve_write                   client.o
strcasedelimword                    client.o
perd_str_write                      client.o

The problem with str.h is the strcaseword function is in the header, not in the .c file. I had to fix that. Otherwise the header files have been included where they are required, not globally.

There's no mkdtemp on Solaris < 11 so we substitute mktemp and mkdir

configure doesn't use the mysql libraries when testing for mysql_real_connect, so it fails.

strcasestr is not on Solaris 10 but is on Solaris 11. I renamed perditions' version to perd_strcasestr so it doesn't matter what O.S. you compile on.

The Makefile LDFLAGS has -rdynamic which is Linux only.

Our ldap schema is in /usr/local/etc/openldap which isn't tested for.

The perdition/db/ldap/Makefile hardcodes install which ends up using /etc/install on Solaris, that's not good.

The perdition/db/ldap/Makefile ignores $prefix when installing the schema.
