[syslinux] compiling tftp-hpa-040 under Solaris 8

[extern.Tobias.Kronwitter at AUDI.DE]

Dear List,

I'm trying to compile tftp-hpa-040 under Solris 8:

Step 1: "configre" works fine:

	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40] > ./configure 
	checking for gcc... gcc
	checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
	checking whether the C compiler works... yes
	checking whether we are cross compiling... no
	checking for suffix of executables... 
	checking for suffix of object files... o
	checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
	checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
	checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
	checking for library containing strerror... none required
	checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
	checking for egrep... egrep
	checking for AIX... no
	checking for ANSI C header files... yes
	.
	.
	.
	configure: creating ./config.status
	config.status: creating MCONFIG
	config.status: creating aconfig.h
	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40] > 


Step 2: compiling the binaries / creating the library "libxtra.a" fails:

	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40] > make
	echo \#define VERSION \"tftp-hpa `cat version`\" > version.h
	make -C  lib
	make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/share/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib'
	rm -f libxtra.a
	ar cq libxtra.a 
	ranlib libxtra.a
	make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib'
	make -C  tftp
	make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/share/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/tftp'

	gcc  tftp.o main.o tftpsubs.o -liberty -lresolv -lnsl -lsocket
/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib/libxtra.a  -o tftp
	gcc: /usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib/libxtra.a: No such file or directory
	make[1]: *** [tftp] Error 1
	make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/tftp'
	make: *** [tftp.build] Error 2
	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40] > 


Entering the "lib - directory" and starting "make" from there (same as at
the beginning) seems not to do anything:
	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib] > ls -al
	total 12
	drwxrwxr-x   2 root     other        512 Oct  9  2004 .

	-rw-rw-r--   1 root     other        276 Mar 30  2001 xstrdup.c

	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib] > make
	rm -f libxtra.a
	ar cq libxtra.a 
	ranlib libxtra.a
	root at isu001[/usr/src/tftp-hpa-0.40/lib] > 


Any clues ?

Thank you for your help

Tobias
