patch to compile on solaris

[trs80]

Attatched is a patch that makes avahi compile on solaris. It also fixes a bug in docs/man/Makefile.am relating to multiple invocations of make install. avahi-daemon runs ok and avahi-resolve also works, but avahi-browse segfaults while calling if_indextoname, backtrace to follow.

In addition to the patch, to compile with Sun's cc, you need to pass

CFLAGS=-xc99 CC=cc CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/sfw/include "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib"

on the configure line.

(In [1485]) Proplery remove bvnc man page before installing it. (re #145)

[lennart]

(In [1484]) fix compilation when compiled with DBM instead of gdbm. Patch supplied from Padraig O'Briain. (re #145)

[lennart]

(In [1486]) Some additional solaris portability issues. (Patch from trs80) (re #145)

[lennart]

What shall I do about that CFLAGS=-xc99 CC=cc CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/sfw/include "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib" issue? I can only acknowledge this, but I cannot do anything about it since I have no access to Solaris. If you want configure to run fine without any special environment variable settings, please supply a patch.

Also, I cannot help with the if_indextoname() issue. It works fine on Linux and looks quite unproblematic too me. That's all I can say.

I fixed the other three issues now.

Next time, please file seperate bugs for each issue. Thank you!

What version of Solaris & what architecture did you get the segfault on?

[trs80]

tedp: SXCE b59, intel with a 64bit kernel. ifconfig -a says index 1 is lo0, and index 2 is iprb0. Sometimes the crash occurs after printing a line or two. Hmm, looking at  http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/libsocket/inet/interface_id.c#104 it's malloc dying trying to allocate (numifs * sizeof (struct lifreq)) bytes, which isn't dependent on the if_indextoname parameters.

lennart: for the CC=cc issue, I'm not fussed since gcc works, but if anyone else (eg Sun) tries to use the Sun Studio cc, at least it's documented.

Unless someone with access to Solaris looks into this this bug will stay open forever...

Closing due to lack of response.
