Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [ethereal-dev] Bug in configure of etheral-0.7.5 on Solaris 2.6

[Tim Ramsey <tar@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

  tar@fubar(6235)% gtk-config --version
  1.2.1
  tar@fubar(6236)% gcc -v
  Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.95.1/specs
  gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release)
  tar@fubar(6237)% uname -a
  SunOS fubar 5.6 Generic_105181-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

Configured with this command:

  env CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" LDFLAGS="-s -R/usr/local/lib" ./configure

Excerpt from config.log:

  configure:2450: checking for asn_parse_header in -lsnmp

  configure: failed program was:
  #line 2458 "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"
  /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
  /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
      builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
  char asn_parse_header();

  int main() {
  asn_parse_header()
  ; return 0; }

This causes the compile to fail:

My workaround:

  env CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" LDFLAGS="-s -R/usr/local/lib -lkstat" ./configure

This makes it happier:

  checking for asn_parse_header in -lsnmp... yes

... and 'make' succeeds.
