[MPlayer-users] More on compiling under Solaris

[Jessica Blank]

Rich et al:

	I NEED network support, since what I am building is a statically 
compiled (so as to avoid the library mess when quickly deploying across 
multiple variants of a single platform e.g. Solaris 7 (which is what I'm 
building on), 8 and 9) audio stream player. Everything other than what I 
need to play the streams I want is compiled out.

	libresolv.x is gone as of BIND 8. I rgrep -r -i'd the latest BIND 
4, BIND 8, and a recent BIND 9 source tree for the word "libresolv" and 
found:

* BIND 4 (even the latest version) includes the sources and instructions 
  to build libresolv. But it's old.

* BIND 8 mentions libresolv once or twice but does not include any 
  instructions for building a standalong libresolv.a

* BIND 9 does not mention it AT ALL (rgrep -r -i libresolv * yields 
  NOTHING)

I compiled libresolv.a with the latest BIND 4 (4.9.9 I think). It compiled 
fine. I tried linking against it... and it seemed to link, but the linker 
complained of a billion unresolved symbols, including nanosleep() and a 
whole buttload of socket stuff.

Adding -lsocket to the link line did not help.
