Description Mark Reis 2005-06-04 04:41:18 AEST 
Hello, I'm really at a loss here trying to compile openssh4.1pl1 statically on
my Solaris box. Dynamically compiling with the same flags works (removing -static). 

I'm using gcc 3.3.0 and openssl 0.9.7g. I'll attach the entire config log later.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Comment 1 Tim Rice 2005-06-04 04:56:38 AEST 
Why are you are using --with-ssl-dir=/usr/cs/ssl if your ssl libs
are in /usr/cs/lib?

The openssl is a split install where /usr/cs/ssl contains "certs, man, private"
and /usr/cs/lib contains the libs. I've also created symlinks for lib and
include in /usr/cs/ssl to point to /usr/cs in addition to changing that flag to
try /usr/cs and /usr/cs/lib.

Here is the configure log from a failed ./configure

OpenSSH doesn't care where the ssl certs, etc. are. It only cares about
the libs and include files. So if the openssl libs are in /sr/cs/lib and
the includes are in /usr/cs/include, you would use --with-ssl-dir=/usr/cs

But now back to the real problem.

Does Solaris 9 have /usr/lib/libnsl.a ?
Comment 5 Mark Reis 2005-06-04 06:22:27 AEST 
Yes, it is there.

/usr/cs/src/openssh-4.1p1 ; ls -al /usr/lib | grep nsl
-rw-r--r--   1 root      1184388 Oct  9  2003 libnsl.a

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       743856 Oct  9  2003 libnsl.so.1
Comment 6 Tim Rice 2005-06-04 06:39:35 AEST 
OK so track down which library has 
endnetconfig, getnetconfig, and setnetconfig in it.
You may find they don't exist in a static library.
Comment 7 Mark Reis 2005-06-04 07:05:03 AEST 
Hrm..

The symbols look like they are in libnsl.a

Comment 8 Darren Tucker 2005-06-04 10:45:48 AEST 
To fix that particular problem, you just need to reverse the order of the
-lsocket and -lnsl.  ./configure --with-ldflags=-static --libs=-lnsl ought to do it.

It's likely that it still won't build, though, since static linking is not
supported by Sun:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/misc/solaris2faq.html#q6.24

$ cat test.c
char RAND_add();
int main()
{ RAND_add(); return 0; }

$ gcc test.c -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -static -lcrypto -lsocket -lnsl
/usr/lib/libnsl.a(netdir.o)(.text+0xdec): In function `load_xlate':
: undefined reference to `dlopen'
/usr/lib/libnsl.a(netdir.o)(.text+0xe20): In function `load_xlate':
: undefined reference to `dlsym'
[snip other dl* functions]

You may be able to fiddle with the linker flags to make it build, according to
the information at the URL and your requirements.  If you do then good luck to
you, however since static linking isn't supported by Sun it's not supported by
us either.
Comment 9 Darren Tucker 2005-07-14 14:36:12 AEST 
Static linking isn't supported by the OS vendor so closing this bug.
Comment 10 Darren Tucker 2006-10-07 11:40:47 AEST 
Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
