Hi,
I noticed gcc is used to link a c++ library on SunOS due to Sun shipping GCC
without a shared libstdc++ in the past (see discussion
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2006-August/010535.html here). Since
this does not seem to be the case anymore, changing the
CMAKE_CXX_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY rule on new projects in vain becomes a
nuisance as using gcc to invoke the linker has problems; missing options g++
tells the linker e.g. when profiling and maybe static initialization issues
as well. So, could we check if libstdc++.so is present and if so, use the
default rule from CMakeDefaultMakeRuleVariables.cmake file instead. I made a
small patch to Modules/Platform/SunOS.cmake that does exatcly that:
--- SunOS.cmake.orig 2011-07-07 11:21:22.331321841 +0800
+++ SunOS.cmake 2011-07-07 11:21:27.149332933 +0800
