Hi, I have a problem with tftpd-hpa on Solaris-8, in that the configure script cannot find the regex engine. This is because of the following in configure.in: LIBXTRA=false AC_SEARCH_LIBS(xmalloc, iberty, , LIBXTRA=true AC_LIBOBJ(xmalloc)) AC_SEARCH_LIBS(xstrdup, iberty, , LIBXTRA=true AC_LIBOBJ(xstrdup)) AC_SEARCH_LIBS(bsd_signal, bsd, , LIBXTRA=true AC_LIBOBJ(bsdsignal)) if $LIBXTRA; then LIBS="../lib/libxtra.a $LIBS" fi Solaris doesn't have xmalloc and friends available and so LIBS includes ../lib/libxtra.a. This causes all future invokations of the compiler to fail like so: configure:10955: /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -o conftest -fast -g -xs -v -xstrconst -xdepend -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v8plusa -xprefetch -fast -g -xs -v -xstrconst -xdepend -xtarget=ultra2 -xarch=v8plusa -xprefetch -D_XPG4_2 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D__EXTENSIONS__ -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_ISO9X_SOURCE -D_OSF_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -fno-strict-aliasing -xildoff -xildoff -xildoff -xildoff conftest.c ../lib/libxtra.a -lresolv -lnsl -lsocket >&5 cc: Warning: illegal option -fno-strict-aliasing ld: fatal: file ../lib/libxtra.a: open failed: No such file or directory ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest Because, of course, libxtra doesn't exist yet. (The illegal option warning is annoying in the build logs, but harmless and easily ignorable). I've attached a patch which I believe fixes this problem, without any undesirable side effects. Can anyone see a problem with it? Ta, Mike -- Good night little fishey-wishes....
