[JDEV] Building without adns?

[Keith Minkler]

I will start by saying this: it's *much* easier to install on solaris 2.6+ ... but We did get it to compile cleanly under 2.5 with *alot* of finessing..

you don't have to install ADNS to get it working.. when you make adns, it will fail, but it creates an adns.a file *before* it fails.. this is all we need.. jabber only uses a very small subset of the adns functionality.. copy this adns.a file into your lib path, and you're good to go..

also, check for adns/pth/libxode will usually fail on solaris.. simply edit the ./configure file to not call "exit 1" when the check fails.. even though the check fails, the lib *is* installed and works (you did install the lib right) =]  

This should get you pretty far.. other wierd problems are with the calls to 'test' that use command lines that don't work on Solaris.  one of these is the -e param.. chaning it toa -r fixes the problem.. 

Good Luck!

Keith
