Hi,

I have successfully build syslog-ng-2.1.3 with --enable-dynamic-linking on 
Solaris 8.
While trying to build using --enable-static-linking option, it is not 
allowing me to configure syslog-ng-2.1.3 version on my Solaris 8 box 
(sparc). It is not able to find glib-2.0.a (Static library), though it is 
available in /usr/local/lib path.

-rw-r--r--   1 root      2822036 Jan 15 06:21 /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.a

Here is error message while doing compilation:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
./configure --enable-static-linking --prefix=/opt/syslog-ng-2.1.3
....
....
checking whether to enable TCP wrapper support... no

configure: error: static GLib libraries not found (a file named 
libglib-2.0.a), either link GLib dynamically using the 
--enable-dynamic-linking or install a static GLib
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have compiled glib-2.13.1 witn --enable-static option to get 
libglib-2.0.a library using gcc-3.4.6 compiler (same I am using for 
syslog-ng). Somehow syslog-ng is not able to find Static Glib during 
configure.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chanchal Verma
