Trying to get sendmail-8.15.1 from pkgsrc working on NetBSD-5, libresolv issues
hello. I'm trying to get sendmail-8.15.1 to build and operate from
pkgsrc under NetBSD-5. It builds, but links against libresolv, which isn't
thread safe. Sendmail-8.14, which I'm currently running doesn't use
threading so this isn't a problem. It seems I have two options here to fix
the trouble: 1. Stop linking against the thread library. 2. Link
against a thread safe version of the libresolv library. Option 1 seems
less than optimal since the point of this exercise is to get sendmail
running with a modern version of openssl. Option 2 brings up several
questions:
1. Where is the insertion of the -lresolv command line option controlled
in the build process? I don't see it in the pkgsrc/mail/sendmail/Makefile
or the pkgsrc/mail/sendmail/Makefile.common file. Nor do I see it in the
field of mk files in the pkgsrc/mk/*.mk tree, though I must just be missing
it.
2. It looks like the thread safe replacement of -lresolv is -llwres. Does
anyone know if this library is a linkable drop in replacement for -lresolv?
-thanks
