You're right -- RPATH isn't used anywhere. RFLAG is used eventually in
include/Makefile.library, which becomes included in nsd/Makefile:
$(LDSO) -o $(LIB) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(RFLAG) $(AOLSERVER)/lib
This should be changed to:
$(LDSO) -o $(LIB) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(RPATH)
Note that I removed the $(AOLSERVER)/lib as it's part of RPATH. If RPATH is
defined as "", then having $(AOLSERVER)/lib at the end of the LDSO line
will cause an error.
Strangely, the Solaris build has this:
RFLAG = -R
RPATH += -Wl,$(RFLAG),/usr/lib/lwp
Which makes RPATH for Solaris end up looking like:
RPATH = -Wl,-rpath,$(AOLSERVER)/lib -Wl,-R,/usr/lib/lwp
I'm not sure whether this was the intention.
Another side-effect as that $(AOLSERVER)/lib must exist as a directory
before the compile will work, but $(AOLSERVER)/lib isn't created until
after you run make install.
I'll commit the above mentioned changes to CVS later today.
thanks,
/s.
