2.1.3 - " cannot compute sizeof (char), 77" configure error

I've installed Spread 3.17.4 under /usr/local and now am trying to
install
wackamole 2.1.3 on A Solaris 9 box with gcc 3.4.6.

However the configure (full output below) ends with

checking for char... yes
checking size of char... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (char),
77
See `config.log' for more details.


Unfortunately there is nothing obvious in config.log to indicate what
the
problem is.

# uname -a
SunOS xxxxxxxx 5.9 Generic_118558-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

I'm running configure with the following flags

--with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/include --with-ldflags="-L/usr/local/lib
-W1",-rpath=/usr/local/lib

(have also without any flags with the same result)


Any ideas or guidance on how to find out what is wrong regarding this?

Rgds.,

Nick.

Up a ways in the config.log I'd wager. seek to the end and search
backwards for "error" and you should see the program it tried to
compile and the error it received.

Thanks Theo,

Looks like my system header files might be broken (see below). Although
I installed gcc 3.4.6 straight from the packages on sunfreeware.com

Does anyone on list know if this is definitely the case of my original
problem and if so how to fix it?

Nick.

The ip.h error doesn't seem like a killer. The issue there is that
you need to include netinet/in.h first. But, since it is a configure
script, it will just note it an continue.

I don't have a Solaris 9 box around. On my solaris 8,10 and
opensolaris machines:

Solaris 8:
; grep inet_aton */*
arpa/inet.h:extern int inet_aton(const char *, struct
in_addr *);

Solaris 10:
; grep inet_aton */*
arpa/inet.h:extern int inet_aton(const char *, struct in_addr *);
arpa/inet.h:extern int inet_aton();

Notably, nm shows inet_aton to be in libnsl on solaris 10 and not on
solaris 8. I assume it is missing on Solaris 9 as well.

Looking at the code, it appears we may have used inet_aton in the
past, but no longer use it. So, you should be able to remove
inet_aton from the configure.in file and rerun autoconf. Though,
that check should be a check only -- it should just not that you
don't have it (and rightfully so). It doesn't look like the rest of
the wackamole code needs that function to operate.

The "cannot compute sizeof (char), 77" is likely something to do with
no being able to find one of the libraries (spread). The sizeof
checks are the first checks in the script that _run_ anything, the
preceding are just compile/link tests. So, I'm guessing that it can
find the lbi to link, but not to run. (run path problem). As a note:

-W1,-rpath=/usr/local/lib

Should likely be:

-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib

Also, consider running Sun Studio 11. It's free, excellent and
produces much much better Sparc binaries than gcc and doesn't make
you tote around the libgcc_s nonsense. If you use Sun's compiler,
you can use -R/usr/local/lib like with most other compilers to
specify your run path.
