Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] test case in configure script fails for gtk on Solaris wit
I saw this once before. The problem is, IIRC, that one of Solaris'
version of gtk2, glib, or gthread is configured to be compiled with
"-mt" which the Sun compiler understands but GCC doesn't.
Indeed Sun bug 6213382 ("gthread-2.0.pc and ORBit-2.0.pc have -mt which
confuses gcc") indicates the problem is with the gthread package.
If you do:
pkg-config --cflags --libs gthread
you'll probably find that it tells you that gthread needs to be compiled
with "-mt". (If not try with gtk2 and glib.)
Whatever package it is, you can fix the problem by editing <package>.pc
wherever that is on your system--just replace "-mt" with "-pthread".

Assembled 16 August 2007
and are trying to build wireshark-0.99.7, but have hit a few issues.
1) Trying to configure with gcc (/usr/sfw/bin/gcc 3.4.3 which came with
Solaris and 3.4.5 from Blastwave) I find it bombs out very quickly with:
./configure CC=/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/g++
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly
installed.
configure: error: GTK+ isn't available, so Wireshark can't be compiled
This seems odd, since they are present, as can be seen if I call
pkg-config from the command line.
kestrel /tmp/wireshark-0.99.7 % /usr/bin/pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion
2.4.1
kestrel /tmp/wireshark-0.99.7 % /usr/bin/pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --modversion
2.4.9
Looking at config.log, it looks to me as if the compiler is complaining
about an invalid option 't'.

I've tried building with Suns compiler and get a lot further, as it
compiles hundreds of files OK before generating an error(s). The errors
I get there will be reported in another email, as they are quite
different to this which occurs during the configure process.
