Hi Johan

static binaries are a problem for Solaris
another options is to compile a dynamic version and run ldd against it

it will tell you what libraries it expects to find where

on my Solaris 10 system (running ethereal) I get this

ldd /usr/local/bin/ethereal

        libwiretap.so.0 =>       /usr/local/lib/libwiretap.so.0
        libethereal.so.0 =>      /usr/local/lib/libethereal.so.0
        libgtk-1.2.so.0 =>       /usr/sfw/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0
        libgdk-1.2.so.0 =>       /usr/sfw/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0
        libgmodule-1.2.so.0 =>   /usr/sfw/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0
        libglib-1.2.so.0 =>      /usr/sfw/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libXext.so.0 =>  /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0
        libX11.so.4 =>   /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libz.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libz.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.2
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        libmd5.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libmd5.so.1
        libscf.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libscf.so.1
        libdoor.so.1 =>  /usr/lib/libdoor.so.1
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /usr/lib/libuutil.so.1
        /platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500/lib/libc_psr.so.1
        /platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500/lib/libmd5_psr.so.1

good luck

Hello!

I'm having trouble compiling a statically linked Wireshark binary on Solaris 8. I need a statically linked binary because I'm compiling for a system that was provided by an external vendor. For reasons unknown the vendor chose to supply the system without X11... (before you ask: Solaris 8 was not either our choice)...

Anyway I installed gcc, binutils, GNU make and friends from sunfreeware.org <http://sunfreeware.org> and went on to compile using the following configure options:

./configure --disable-gtk2 --enable-static --disable-shared --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --prefix=/usr/local/wireshark

Everything seems to go fine during compilation. I run into trouble once it starts linking. Illustrated by the section below until we reach the <snip>.

Using Gnu ld (I linked /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /usr/local/bin/ld i get:
-----------------------
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: cannot find -lkstat
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `wireshark'

Using Suns ld (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) I get other link errors that I forgot to copy down and it takes me about 3 hours to recompile evrything.... :-(

Does anyone have any hints as to whats going wrong and how to fix it?

Any help would be much appreciated!
