I need a library, libresolv.a, that is missing. First my setting:
Machine: tombo.mit.edu
SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-06 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
Athena Server (sun4) Version 8.1.4 Mon Jun 23 18:25:21 1997
I am building mule, a mutlilanguage version of emacs. A month ago it
built fine. Using the same settings and a configure/make script, I
get the error message:
...
gcc -traditional -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../src -I/afs/athena.mit.ed
u/dept/jpnet/Mule-builds/mule-2.3/lib-src -I/afs/athena.mit.edu/dept/jpnet/Mule-
builds/mule-2.3/lib-src/../src -g -O /afs/athena.mit.edu/dept/jpnet/Mule-build
s/mule-2.3/lib-src/wakeup.c /usr/athena/lib/libresolv.a -lsocket -lnsl -lelf -o
wakeup
gcc.real: /usr/athena/lib/libresolv.a: No such file or directory
Athena 7.7 and 8.0J have the library, a softlink to a local copy:
/usr/athena/lib/libresolv.a -> /srvd/usr/athena/lib/libresolv.a
For now, I have manually copied an 8.0J version to my
/srvd/usr/athena/lib.
Please advise me whether this is a bad idea and when to expect a real
libresolv.a.
