[JDEV] Sun/Solaris question

[Lars Petersen]

Hello there,

I am looking for people who have experience in
running the jabberd and the transports on SunOS (5.8).
Yesterday, jan. 11th, I retrieved the latest jabber
and transport sources from CVS.
Jabberd kompiles and runs ok.
The only transport that seems to do anything is
the MSN transport. But even that one claims that I do
not have GNU Pth installed, which is strange, since
I wouldn't have been able to compile jabberd without
it.

When I ./autogen in the msn-transport I get:

root:/home/jabber/msn-transport> ./autogen.sh 
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

configure: error: 
*************************************************************

When I look in the config.log I see:

root:/home/jabber/msn-transport> cat config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char pth_init();

int main() {
pth_init()
; return 0; }


I can see that there is a library called "macros" in the msn-transport
library. This is used by the autogen.sh
None of the other transports have the "macros" library, thus preventing
their autogen.sh script to work. Is this an error or can I just cp the
macros library from msn-transport?


I hope you can help. I am trying to get a lot of people to use jabber,
and I hope I will succeed ;-)
