Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] ethereal 0.9.0 build problems under solaris 5.8

[Ralph Siemsen <ralphs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Similar to the problem reported by Falk.Hayn@xxxxxx, I cannot get 0.9.0 
to build under solaris/sparc.

The symptom is of many, many undefine references to the glib and gtk 
library functions.   I do have these support libraries built and 
installed though, and configure is detecting them and adding appropriate 
-I and -L flags.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the final link (to produce 
ethereal exectuable) fails due to the commandline being too long. 
Therefore the -lglib and -lgdk might get truncated, which could explain 
the following errors.

Here is the tail of my build log:
