Subject: bug#23748: building emacs-25.0.95 on OpenIndiana
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:53:59 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CMM.0.96.0.1465689239.beebe@gamma.math.utah.edu> (raw)
I've had considerable success today building emacs-25.0.95 on scores
of different operating system and CPU flavors.
On OpenIndiana (an OpenSolaris descendant), I built with
env CC=/opt/csw/bin/gcc ./configure && gmake all
That got as far as the link stage, then died with
CCLD temacs
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
tparm terminfo.o
I found that the missing symbol is defined in /usr/lib/libtermlib.so.1,
which is a symlink to /lib/libcurses.so.1, but configure had chosen
LIBS_TERMCAP=-ltermcap
and that library does not have the tparm symbol.
I noticed that configure.ac chooses among -lcurses, -lncurses,
-ltermcap, -lterminfo, and -ltinfo by testing on the system type,
rather than on the library contents. Would it not be cleaner and
simpler just to check that, e.g., both tputs() and tparm() are
available in one of those libraries, and select the first one that has
both?
