This comes from AC_PATH_XTRA: checking for gethostbyname... no checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... yes
the result of this is that ac_cv_func_connect=no and HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME is undefined. However, since -lnsl is actually added to LIBS at some point, gethostbyname() is present and available. So, how do I make sure that autoconf knows that gethostbyname really is there? Alas, adding test X$ac_cv_lib_socket_connect = Xyes && ac_cv_func_connect=yes test X$ac_cv_lib_nsl_gethostbyname = Xyes && ac_cv_func_gethostbyname=yes test X$ac_cv_lib_bsd_gethostbyname = Xyes && ac_cv_func_gethostbyname=yes after AC_PATH_XTRA in configure.in is no good because HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME is not defined. I guess I could do undef ac_cv_func_connect cl_save_LIBS=$LIBS test x$LIBSOCKET = x || LIBS="$LIBS $LIBSOCKET" AC_CHECK_FUNCS(connect) LIBS=$cl_save_LIBS (I have gl_SOCKETS in gl_INIT). Is that TRT?
