[Sqlrelay-discussion] build problems on Solaris 2.8

[John K. <kl...@gm...>]

I finally got rudiments to build, but to do so, I had to get rid of
the "-rpath $(libdir)" from the Makefile, and then also had to remove
a bogus, trailing "i" from the value of "instname" (in libtool).

When I try to build SQL Relay proper, though, I get this far:

% make
make -C src all
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/sqlrelay-0.39.4/src'
make -C util all
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/sqlrelay-0.39.4/src/util'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link g++ -o libsqlrutil.la cmdline.lo
debugfile.lo tempdir.lo sqlrconfigfile.lo authenticator.lo
-L/auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY/lib -lrudiments -lsocket -lrt -lresolv
-rpath /auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY/lib -release 0.39.4 -version-info 1:0:0
-no-undefined
rm -fr  .libs/libsqlrutil.lax
rm -fr .libs/libsqlrutil.lax
mkdir .libs/libsqlrutil.lax
rm -fr .libs/libsqlrutil.lax/librudiments.a
mkdir .libs/libsqlrutil.lax/librudiments.a
(cd .libs/libsqlrutil.lax/librudiments.a && ar x
/auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY/lib/.libs/librudiments.a)
ar: /auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY/lib/.libs/librudiments.a: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libsqlrutil.la] Error 9
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/sqlrelay-0.39.4/src/util'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/sqlrelay-0.39.4/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Exit 2

Note that /auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY is what I passed in via
--with-rudiments-prefix.  Why is it looking in
/auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY/lib/.libs rather than just
/auto/tte/its/SQLRELAY/lib, though (i.e. why the extra ".libs")?

Confused,
