Description Jonas Jonsson 2003-11-28 21:38:07 UTC 
Currently compiling hacking-0.28.1, but I've had to do this on each and
every garnome-dist ........  (Compiled on Solaris 8 sparc & i86 and Solaris
9 x86)

In order to build gnome-session properly on a Solaris system, the following
line must be added to (garnome|hacking)-0.XX.X/gnome/libgnomeui/Makefile:

LDFLAGS += -lnsl -lsocket

If this isn't done, session management won't be built into libgnomeui which
in it's turn leads to that there won't be any session management built into
gnome-session.  

That, is a problem :)

Perhaps this "bug" should be assigned to libgnomeui??

See 104707 ....

Mass re-assign
Comment 3 Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-07-05 23:58:22 UTC 
Hmm, what's your linker? Are you using the GNU one?

Adding this flags effectively breaks the install for me (x86, Linux, GNU tools).
Do we need to identify Solaris and conditionally add this to the garballs Makefile?

Does `grep Solaris /etc/release` reliably determine if it is a Solaris system?
If so, can you please test the (following) attached patch?

better hack using 'uname'

Now that I've been flamed for providing bad fixes, here is another one using
'uname'.

This is NOT a GARNOME bug...if it won't compile on Solaris than file a bug
against libgnomeui and state that it won't compile on Solaris. This is a problem
for upstream to fix not us.
Comment 7 Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-07-07 21:45:02 UTC 
This seems to be fixed in upstream libgnomeui 2.10.1 (in CVS since 2005-07-01).
Thanks Bob for spotting the release notes.

- Fix build on Solaris (Laszlo Peter)

Obsoleting the GARNOME specific patch. Going to close this bug FIXED once
GARNOME ships this version in GARNOME 2.10.2.
Comment 8 Bob Kashani 2005-07-17 00:52:29 UTC 
libgnomeui 2.10.1 is now in garnome-2.10.2.
