Hello I tried to compile syslog-ng on Solaris 10 with Sun Studio 11 using following configure line : PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/eventlog/lib/pkgconfig/ GLIB_LIBS=/opt/glib/lib/ CC=cc CXX=CC ./configure --prefix=/opt/syslog-ng --sysconfdir=/opt/syslog-ng/ I have compiled Eventlog and GLIB (statistically) with same compiler. Alas configure returns error: error: static GLib libraries not found (a file named libglib-2.0.a), either link GLib dynamically using the --enable-dynamic-linking or insta ll a static Glib What I found in config.log is a syntax problem in test code? Can this be fixed somehow by some patch or workaround? I also think, that compile line is also not correct : configure:5687: cc -o conftest -g conftest.c -Wl,-Bstatic /opt/glib/lib/ -Wl,-Bdynamic >&5 "conftest.c", line 52: syntax error before or at: { "conftest.c", line 55: undefined symbol: fn "conftest.c", line 59: warning: syntax error: empty declaration "conftest.c", line 60: syntax error before or at: return "conftest.c", line 60: warning: syntax error: empty declaration cc: acomp failed for conftest.c configure:5693: $? = 2 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | | #define PACKAGE_NAME "" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" | #define PACKAGE "syslog-ng" | #define VERSION "2.0.0" | #define STDC_HEADERS 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRING_H 1 | #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1 | #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1 | #define HAVE_GETOPT_H 1 | #define HAVE_STROPTS_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_STRLOG_H 1 | #define HAVE_DOOR_H 1 | #define HAVE_O_LARGEFILE 1 | #define HAVE_LIBDOOR 1 | #define HAVE_LIBSOCKET 1 | #define HAVE_LIBRT 1 | #define HAVE_LIBNSL 1 | #define HAVE_STRDUP 1 | #define HAVE_STRTOL 1 | #define HAVE_INET_NTOA 1 | #define HAVE_GETOPT_LONG 1 | #define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1 | #define HAVE_PTHREAD_H 1 | #define HAVE_LIBPTHREAD 1 | #define ENABLE_SUN_STREAMS 1 | #define ENABLE_SUN_DOOR 1 | #define ENABLE_DEBUG 0 | #define ENABLE_MEM_TRACE 0 | #define ENABLE_SSL 0 | #define ENABLE_IPV6 1 | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | extern void g_hash_table_new(void); | | int main() | { | void (*fn)(void) = g_hash_table_new; | | return (int) fn; | } | | | ; | return 0; | } configure:5717: result: no configure:5728: error: static GLib libraries not found (a file named libglib-2.0.a), either link GLib dynamically using the --enable-dynamic-linking or insta ll a static Glib I can fix above code with look like : /* end confdefs.h. */ extern void g_hash_table_new(void); int main () { void (*fn)(void) = g_hash_table_new; return (int) fn; } And compile it with command : cc -o test -g test.c -Wl,-Bstatic /opt/glib/lib/libglib-2.0.a -Wl,-Bdynamic With best regards Martynas
