Re: [gftp] compile fail on Sparc Solaris 8 machine

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the info., I think I am almost there.
I did download the readline and installed, but now I am getting the following error when compile gftp.   Any ideas?

gcc  -g -O2  -o gftp-text  gftp-text.o ../../lib/libgftp.a -L/usr/local/lib -lglib -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lreadline -lcurses
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
libintl_gettext                     gftp-text.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to gftp-text
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks in advance.
Tony

Yup.  Copmiled v2.0.15 using gcc 3.3.1 on a machine running Solaris 8.

  
The 2 issues I have is:
1) #warning major macro,  what is it?
2) readline.h is missing
    

There is a header file in gftp (lib/gftp.h) that defines two macros if they 
don't exist on the target platform, 'major' and 'minor'.  The warnings you are 
seeing refer to the fact that since these macros are NOT defined in a Solaris 
system header file, gftp will define them.  I ignored the warnings.  Gftp seems 
to work ok.  There are major() and minor() macros defined in 
'/usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h', but I don't know if that's performing the same 
function as the gftp macros.

Gftp requires the readline package be installed.  This supplies the 'readline.h' 
file you need.  You can download the source to readline at:

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/

Hope that helps.
