hello. I'm trying to get sendmail-8.15.1 to build and operate from pkgsrc under NetBSD-5. It builds, but links against libresolv, which isn't thread safe. Sendmail-8.14, which I'm currently running doesn't use threading so this isn't a problem. It seems I have two options here to fix the trouble: 1. Stop linking against the thread library. 2. Link against a thread safe version of the libresolv library. Option 1 seems less than optimal since the point of this exercise is to get sendmail running with a modern version of openssl. Option 2 brings up several questions:
1. Where is the insertion of the -lresolv command line option controlled in the build process? I don't see it in the pkgsrc/mail/sendmail/Makefile or the pkgsrc/mail/sendmail/Makefile.common file. Nor do I see it in the field of mk files in the pkgsrc/mk/*.mk tree, though I must just be missing it. 2. It looks like the thread safe replacement of -lresolv is -llwres. Does anyone know if this library is a linkable drop in replacement for -lresolv? -thanks -Brian couple of questions:
