Just for fun I grabbed the latest snapshot and tried to compile it on my Solaris10 server at home. I ran into a couple of problems which I was able to fix. Long gory details below, quick summary at the bottom.

I configured with all default options, except no to LDAP. Here's the results:

[hobbit at ultra5 snapshot]$ make CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DSunOS -I. -Ipwd/include -I/usr/local/include" OSDEF="-DSunOS" RPATHOPT="" PCREINCDIR="-I/usr/local/include" SSLFLAGS="-DBBGEN_SSL" SSLINCDIR="-I/usr/local/ssl/include " SSLLIBS="-L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto" NETLIBS="-lresolv -lsocket -lnsl" BBTOPDIR="/home/hobbit" BBLOGDIR="/var/log/hobbit" BBHOSTNAME="ultra5" BBHOSTIP="192.168.0.103" BBHOSTOS="sunos" make -C lib all make[1]: Entering directory /home/hobbit/snapshot/lib' make[1]: Nothing to be done for all'. make[1]: Leaving directory /home/hobbit/snapshot/lib' CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DSunOS -I. -Ipwd/include -I/usr/local/include" RPATHOPT="" SSLFLAGS="-DBBGEN_SSL" SSLINCDIR="-I/usr/local/ssl/include " SSLLIBS="-L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto" NETLIBS="-lresolv -lsocket -lnsl" BBHOME="/home/hobbit/server" make -C common all make[1]: Entering directory /home/hobbit/snapshot/common' gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DSunOS -I. -I/home/hobbit/snapshot/include -I/usr/local/include -o bbhostgrep bbhostgrep.o ../lib/libbbgen.a Undefined first referenced symbol in file recv ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) getservbyname ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) gethostbyname ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) socket ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) getsockopt ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) connect ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) inet_aton ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) inet_ntoa ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) shutdown ../lib/libbbgen.a(sendmsg.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to bbhostgrep collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [bbhostgrep] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hobbit/snapshot/common' make: *** [common-build] Error 2

These errors are typical of missing networking libraries (resolv,socket,nsl), so I checked the Makefile and added $(NETLIBS) to snapshot/common/Makefile

bbhostgrep: $(HOSTGREPOBJS) ../lib/libbbgen.a $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(HOSTGREPOBJS) ../lib/libbbgen.a *$(NETLIBS)*

I then did a "make clean" and ran make again. This time I get this error:

make[1]: Leaving directory /home/hobbit/snapshot/common' CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DSunOS -I. -Ipwd/include -I/usr/local/include" BBHOME="/home/hobbit/client" BBHOSTIP="192.168.0.103" LOCALCLIENT="" make -C client all make[1]: Entering directory /home/hobbit/snapshot/client' cat hobbitclient.cfg.DIST | sed -e's!@BBHOSTIP@!192.168.0.103!g'

hobbitclient.cfg make[1]: *** [hobbitclient.cfg] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hobbit/snapshot/client' make: *** [client] Error 2

I checked to see if /home/hobbit/snapshot/client/hobbitclient.cfg was created, and it was, but zero bytes. So, I checked the hobbitclient.cfg.DIST to make sure it had data in it and it did, I then I decided to check the sed command being used: "sed -e's!@BBHOSTIP@!192.168.0.103!g'".

The syntax of that looks correct but when I tried it on the command line, it didn't work! So then I grepped for sed in all of the Makefiles, and found many usages of sed, but all the others had one difference, *a space after the -e option*. I changed the sed commands in snapshot/client/Makefile to have a space after the "-e" option, did a make clean; make; and now it compiled smoothly.

--- Summary --- So, to summarize, for Solaris compatibility in the latest snapshot, please add the netlibs to the snapshot/common/Makefile, and correct the spacing of the sed command options in snapshot/client/Makefile.
