Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020921 Netscape/7.0 Build Identifier: firefox-1.0-source.tar.bz2 The configure script detects correctly that it needs to link with -lnsl for gethostbyname to work. This result doesn't seem to get propagated to the appropriate LDFLAGS though, since the build fails in directory ./mozilla/OBJ-mozilla/toolkit/mozapps/installer/unix/wizard when linking is tried with -lsocket alone. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1: .mozconfig: . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/OBJ-mozilla ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 ac_add_options --enable-xft ac_add_options --disable-test ac_add_options --enable-calendar ac_add_options --enable-xinerama ac_add_options --enable-js-ultrasparc ac_add_options --enable-xterm-updates ac_add_options --prefix=/opt/csw ac_add_options --with-gtk-prefix=/opt/csw #ac_add_options --enable-native-uconv ac_add_options --disable-freetype2 2. Environment: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/csw/lib/pkgconfig LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/csw/include 3. gmake distclean ; ksh ../configure ; gmake -j SHELL=ksh Actual Results: configure output: checking for gethostbyname... (cached) no checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... (cached) yes checking for connect... (cached) no checking for connect in -lsocket... (cached) yes Make bailing: (whitespace compressed to shorten lines) Undefined first referenced symbol in file gethostbyaddr ../../../../../dist/lib/libxpnet_s.a(nsSocket.o) (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1) gethostbyname ../../../../../dist/lib/libxpnet_s.a(nsSocket.o) (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1) inet_addr ../../../../../dist/lib/libxpnet_s.a(nsSocket.o) (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to mozilla-installer-bin Temporary fix: For simplicity -lnsl was added to the LDFLAGS at the local subdirectory Makefile and compilation restarted. Expected Results: Use configure result to include -lnsl every time -lsocket is used.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.
