We are growing a little impatient with the " it compiles out of the
box crowd " :-) Last nite I again attempted to recompile the Cygnus
version using both gcc 2.6.5 and xgcc i2.6.3. Both distributions
die when linking compile_et with some simple library error:
-ll lib not found. Of course, you don't have to be a rocketman to
know that somewhere in the myst of makefiles there is a libdef " l ".
Now, there may just be a simple fix - but I grepped for some time
to find the problem, commented out a few defs, etc. Finally, I
confirmed my statement, which I defend for the good of the whole:
Kerberos does not compile out of the box under linux.
It may compile for ' a few lucky few ' but this is hardly " out of
the box " as claimed. Furthermore, all of these "out of the box"
proclaimers have not uploaded a linux distribution to sunsite.unc.edu.
Everything there compiles (almost everything :-) out of the box ! :-)
Probally would be more constructive for linux users to move off the
" out of the box " debate as the original poster suggested and point
us to a distribution that compiles. After all, that is all we want -
to be able to compile, configure, and use kerberos on our linux
platforms.
Hmmmmmm.
