Hi everyone,
While trying to build Cyrus-imapd-2.2.12, compilation stops almost immediately because "gai.h" cannot be found.
I'm using these arguments to configure my cyrus-imapd:
ac_cv_lib_socket_getnameinfo=no ac_cv_func_getnameinfo=no ./configure --with-perl=/bin/perl --with-sasl=/usr/local --with-cyrus-prefix=/usr/local/cyrus --with-dbdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1 --with-auth=unix --with-openssl=/usr/local
The build environment is a Solaris 9 Ultra-Sparc machine.
The first two entries are to prevent a lot of error messages because apparently cyrus doesn't like the Solaris getnameinfo.
This then causes "gai.h" to be included. But gai.h lives in cyrus-imapd-2.2.12/lib/gai.h and cannot be found. I assume this include is being triggered only in my builds because of the way I run configure.
### Making all in /export/home/boven/cyrus-imapd-2.2.12/lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/boven/cyrus-imapd-2.2.12/lib'
./../tools/config2header CC=gcc ./imapopts.c ./imapopts.h < ./imapoptions
gcc -c -I.. -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include -I/usr/local/include -I../et -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 \
libconfig.c
In file included from libconfig.c:44:
../config.h:429:17: gai.h: No such file or directory
My solution: when building the files in cyrus-imapd-2.2.12/lib, make sure that the directory in question is being included by adding a -I. to the CPPFLAGS.
By the way, I don't think that '-I..' really needs to be set in that Makefile because that includes the top-level cyrus-directory which
doesn't contain any include-files.
Suggested patch:
