Description:
Unable to compile on a 64bit Solaris 7 machine with gcc.
How-To-Repeat:
./configure
<configure output snipped>
checking size of char... 0
configure: error: No size for char type.
A likely cause for this could be that there isn't any
static libraries installed. You can verify this by checking if you have libm.a
in /lib, /usr/lib or some other standard place. If this is the problem,
install the static libraries and try again. If this isn't the problem,
examine config.log for possible errors. If you want to report this, use
'scripts/mysqlbug' and include at least the last 20 rows from config.log!
config.log's last entries were:
configure:6444: checking size of char
configure:6463: gcc -o conftest -O6 -DDBUG_OFF -DHAVE_CURSES_H -I/export/home/
staff/mark/Apachetoolbox-1.5.12/src/mysql-3.23.33/include -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T conf
test.c -ldl -lz -lcrypt -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lpthread -lthread 1>&5
configure: failed program was:
#line 6452 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *f=fopen("conftestval", "w");
if (!f) exit(1);
fprintf(f, "%d\n", sizeof(char));
exit(0);
}
Fix:
compiled conftest.c (from the config.log output), and noticed the
program conftest died upon running due to the libz library not being in the libraries
search path. Fix: move libz to /usr/lib or /lib, OR add it's path into
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(Libz was in /usr/local/lib, which under Solaris is not searched for .so libraries.
The static library for libz was installed, too.
