No, it's not, but it's good you mention it. Libtool would need a
similar change.
Right. I think it's best, then, to let this thread die. There are
already other threads where they need to be (unless someone wants to
take this to libtool, but so far I'm not doing anything with libtool on
NSK).
While trying to build gawk on Tandem NSK/OSS, I ran into dlopen, dlsys
and dlerror being unresolved. I finally determined that these are
present in the 'zrldsrl' library.
Change the
AC_CHECK_LIB(dl, dlopen)
in gawk's configure.ac to be
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([dlopen], [dl zrldsrl])
Right. I never said it was the *best* solution, just that 'zrldsrl' was
the particular library needed. :-) (It took a while to dig up this
information, so I figured it would be considerate of me to share those
findings.) Anyway, thanks for enlightening me on autoconf syntax (which
I would have gotten wrong :-)).
I have written to bug-gawk (AT gnu.org), but thought it would be nice if
autoconf was aware of this so it could add -lzrldsrl (instead of -ldl)
when looking for the dlopen library on tandem targets.
Autoconf doesn't have a native (specialized) check for dlopen, but
Libtool does. But I do wonder whether dlopen has the same semantics
on Tandem.
Well, from a (really) cursory comparison of the man pages, it looks the
same...
At any rate, AFAICT gawk is not using libtool.
