[tpop3d-discuss] Compilation trouble on Solaris

[Martin Schmitt]

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently trying to compile tpop3d on a Solaris 2.8 box. The box has a
fresh Solaris "core cluster" (minimum) install, manually extended with the 
following packages, which - as far as I can tell - are required to compile 
anything.  

-  SUNWarc
-  SUNWbtool
-  SUNWhea
-  SUNWlibm
-  SUNWlibms
-  SUNWtoo
-  SUNWsprot

I'm using binary-distribution GCC 2.95.3 and GNU make 3.79.1, which I both
got from sunfreeware.com. No autoconf or automake.

First of all, I don't quite think I grok the output of ./configure --help
correctly. I trying to compile with sole support for "other" authentication, 
no PAM, no passwd, no mysql, no perl, only "other".

Is the following command line correct for what I'm trying to do?

./configure --prefix=/opt/tpop3d-1.3.5           \
            --sysconfdir=/etc/tpop3d             \
            --with-mailspool-directory=/var/mail \
            --disable-auth-pam                   \
            --enable-auth-other                  \
            --disable-cclient-locking

Completely correct or not: ./configure succeeds and I can run "make".

Make then terminates with the following message:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/tpop3d-1.3.5'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I'm absolutely not a C guy, but as far as I can guess, what's missing is the
nanosleep()-call from some POSIX threads library.

Since this is my first attempt at a "lean" Solaris setup, as opposed to the
"all the way with everything" flavour, it may well be possible that the
system only lacks a required packet. I've already googled the net for hints
on which packet this might be, but unfortunately to no avail yet.

Any ideas on how to get this to work are greatly appreciated. :-)

Thanks in advance,
