Under Solaris, those applications dnl need to link with "-lsocket -lnsl". Under IRIX, they need to link dnl with "-lnsl" but should *not* link with "-lsocket" because dnl libsocket.a breaks a number of things (for instance: dnl gethostbyname() under IRIX 5.2, and snoop sockets under most dnl versions of IRIX). dnl dnl Unfortunately, many application developers are not aware of this, dnl and mistakenly write tests that cause -lsocket to be used under dnl IRIX. It is also easy to write tests that cause -lnsl to be used dnl under operating systems where neither are necessary (or useful), dnl such as SunOS 4.1.4, which uses -lnsl for TLI. dnl dnl This test exists so that every application developer does not test dnl this in a different, and subtly broken fashion. dnl It has been argued that this test should be broken up into two dnl seperate tests, one for the resolver libraries, and one for the dnl libraries necessary for using Sockets API. Unfortunately, the two dnl are carefully intertwined and allowing the autoconf user to use dnl them independantly potentially results in unfortunate ordering dnl dependancies -- as such, such component macros would have to dnl carefully use indirection and be aware if the other components were dnl executed. Since other autoconf macros do not go to this trouble, dnl and almost no applications use sockets without the resolver, this dnl complexity has not been implemented. dnl dnl The check for libresolv is in case you are attempting to link dnl statically and happen to have a libresolv.a lying around (and no dnl libnsl.a). dnl AC_DEFUN(AC_LBL_LIBRARY_NET, [ # Most operating systems have gethostbyname() in the default searched # libraries (i.e. libc): AC_CHECK_FUNC(gethostbyname, , # Some OSes (eg.
