Your makefile is specifying that the compiler is to be used to compile code to run on Solaris systems and is telling the compiler to predefine the macro SunOS before compiling any of the source files used to build your project.

If you are hoping to build your project on a Linux system creating object files that will run on Solaris/SunOS systems, I don't think that will work unless Linux has recently added some cross-compilation environments that I have seen advertised.

If you are hoping to build your project to run on a Linux system as well as to be built on a Linux system, you will need to examine each of the source files in your project to find out what macros need to be predefined so that they will build correctly in your specific Linux environment instead of in the Solaris/SunOS environment your makefile specifies. If your code does not have #ifdef statements to select appropriate alternatives to SunOS specific segments of your code, you will need to modify those source files to #ifdef code in for your new environment and add the macros that your modified source uses by changing the line in your makefile from:
Code:
DEFINES=-DSunOS

to instead define the macros your sources files expect when building your project to run in your specific Linux environment as well as changing the two lines at the top of your makefile:
Code:
CC=cc
FLAGS=-G -KPIC -DLG_SOLARIS_OS

to:
Code:
CC=gcc

and set FLAGS to whatever options are appropriate for gcc in your environment for the type of code you're trying to build.

Name
       Perl for WinCE

Description
       This file gives the instructions for building Perl5.6 and above for WinCE.  Please read and understand the terms under which this software
       is distributed.

Build
       This section describes the steps to be performed to build PerlCE.

       Tools & SDK

       For compiling, you need Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools, my celib-sources, my console-sources and a perl for win32.

       Needed source files can be downloaded via: www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/dirlist.html

       Some portions of the makefile need a shell for win32, rm, cp, mv, xmkdir (mkdir with a -p option).  It also uses my cecopy program for
       copying files to the ce device.

       Make

       Miniperl is not built. A pre-existent win32 perl is used.

       The paths for tools and additional libraries have to be changed in wince/makefile.ce.

       Different ce targets can be specified with the TARGET macro.

       Before you start, you need to build celib.dll and w32console.  See instructions in these packages for building.

       In the wince directory, type "nmake -f makefile.ce". This should build perl.exe and perl.dll. For building extension dlls, type "nmake -f
       makefile.ce dlls"

       When building ext dlls, you get lots of macro redefinition errors. Just ignore them.

       For further information, look in the text files in the wince sub-directory.

Acknowledgements
       The port for Win32 was used as a reference.
