Sorry folks but its the old chestnut of compiling exim and mysql,
before anyone says "read the FAQ" or "check the archives" please
note that I have dne that repeatedly.
I dare say that I am missing the obvious but:
Compiling Exim 3.33 under Solaris 8 with gcc 2.95 returns:
gcc -o exim accept.o child.o daemon.o dbfn.o debug.o deliver.o direct.o directory.o dns.o drtables.o exim.o expand.o filter.o globals.o header.o host.o log.o match.o moan.o os.o parse.o queue.o readconf.o retry.o rewrite.o route.o search.o smtp_in.o smtp_out.o spool_in.o spool_out.o store.o string.o tls.o tod.o transport.o tree.o verify.o version.o \
libident/libident.a pcre/libpcre.a directors/directors.a \
routers/routers.a transports/transports.a lookups/lookups.a \
auths/auths.a \
-lsocket -lnsl -lkstat \
-lresolv -R/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ -llibmysqlclient.so
ld: fatal: library -llibmysqlclient.so: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to exim
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `exim'
Current working directory /home/cur/pao/src/exim-3.33/build-SunOS5-5.8-sparc
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `go'
The extract from my Local/Makefile reads:
LOOKUP_INCLUDE=-I /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/
LOOKUP_LIBS=-R/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/ -llibmysqlclient.so
To check the files exist:
watson# pwd
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
watson# ls
libdbug.a libmysqlclient.la libmystrings.a
libheap.a libmysqlclient.so libmysys.a
libmerge.a libmysqlclient.so.6 libnisam.a
libmysqlclient.a libmysqlclient.so.6.0.0
No the mysql libs are not in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH so I linked libmysqlclient.so
back to /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so, besides I am also using the -R flag
to force that anyway.
Comments/sarcasm/help even are eagerly awaited.
Thanks for your time.
Paul
