I took a different route since I was not sure how the gnu linker would handle the fact that there would be two declarations of the forkpty() function when compiled and linked under Linux. Instead, I created a separate forkpty.c module and compiled it separately. Then, if "solaris", link it in. Otherwise, use library "util" which already has forkpty().

No, there are no two forkpty() function, due to the
#ifdef OS_SOLARIS
forkpty(...)
{
...
}
#endif
conditional compiling. So if I compile under Linux, the variable OS_SOLARIS is not defined, and therefore the special forkpty does not get compiled. Instead the one from the library is taken, since under Linux I use the -libutil switch. Under Solaris, there is no -libutil, but the OS_SOLARIS gets set, and therefore we have the code right inside elogd.c

Got it. Much easier than how I was going about it.

BTW, Stefan, this code in Makefile does not work on Solaris
OSTYPE = $(shell uname)
.
.
.
ifeq ($(OSTYPE),solaris)
At least, not on our solaris systems. 'uname' returns SunOS. When I run 'make -P' or 'gmake -P' the environment variable 'OSTYPE' is already set to 'solaris'. This is the reason the original Makefile did not work on our solaris systems. I'm not sure if this is universal but it applies to the systems we run (Solaris 8 and 9). |
