CVS build for Solaris 5.8 fails

[Klaus Zeitler]

Hello,

build of emacs 23 for Solaris 5.8 fails with the following error:

--- snip ---

When I compared with emacs 22.2, I noticed that the CVS version is using
unexsol.c, whereas 22.2 is using unexelf.c.

I've fixed this by adding '-ldl' to the libraries in src/Makefile:

LIBES = $(LOADLIBES) $(LIBS) $(LIBX) $(LIBSOUND) $(RSVG_LIBS) $(DBUS_LIBS)
-lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lkstat -lcurses $(GETLOADAVG_LIBS) $(GNULIB_VAR) -lm
$(GNULIB_VAR) -ldl



BTW what is the proper way to send a bug report if you can't build CVS emacs?
