Quite a few folk seem to be having trouble linking on Solaris 10.
These seem to be well-established applications, that have compiled and
linked for years on a wide range of OSes, including Solaris 8 and 9,
but something seems subtly different on Solaris 10: some interaction
amongst Solaris 10 libraries, GNU ld, libtool. It is unclear whether this
is multiple "pilot error", of a fault in a single one of that list, or
some strange interaction.
The faults are typically of the form:
[...] undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
[...] undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
[...] undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
[...] undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
and probably related to the building of convenience libraries.
The collection of examples is primarily at:
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=24107&tstart=0
augmented with a little discussion on "comp.unix.solaris".
The first question is very simple: are there any already-known issues in
this area? (Known problem? Known resolution?)
If not, then where might we (as beginners) begin?
(Incidentally: this may or may not be relevant to the above: in my own
case, I know that our GNU ld and libtool are somewhat out-of-date. So
I've attempted to get libtool 1.5.18 installed. "make check" is fine on
S8, but has a failure in "mdemo2-make.test" on S10. If someone can guide
me, I'd be happy to try to pursue this futher.)
