I cvs'ed the latest 3.0.20 Alpha this morning... On the configure, the test for _et_list in libcom_err.a doesn't seem to ever work, even though _et_list is in com_err. Perhaps it's marked as private? (IBM cc or gcc, makes no difference.) This results in no -lcom_err being added to LIBS, and so the build of the smbd fails due to not finding _et_list and error_message(). Manually adding -lcom_err to LIBS causes things to build OK.
I hacked the configure to look for error_message() in -lcom_err instead of looking for _et_list, and that seems to have worked OK. I'm not sure what this means for systems that don't need -lcom_err since the test apparently only checks to see if it builds with the lib, and not if the lib is superfluous. -nik 9:43:55 acsn08 [source] gnudiff -u configure.20021125 configure --- configure.20021125 Fri Nov 22 01:56:28 2002 +++ configure Mon Nov 25 09:23:49 2002 @@ -12295,8 +12295,8 @@ ################################################################## # we might need the k5crypto and com_err libraries on some systems - echo $ac_n "checking for _et_list in -lcom_err""... $ac_c" 1>&6 -echo "configure:12300: checking for _et_list in -lcom_err" >&5 + echo $ac_n "checking for error_message in -lcom_err""... $ac_c" 1>&6 +echo "configure:12300: checking for error_message in -lcom_err" >&5 ac_lib_var=`echo com_err'_'_et_list | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'` if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var'+set}'`\" = set"; then echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6 @@ -12309,10 +12309,10 @@ /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ -char _et_list(); +char error_message(); int main() { -_et_list() +error_message() ; return 0; } EOF if { (eval echo configure:12319: \"$ac_link\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_link) 2>&5; } && test -s conftest${ac_exeext}; then
