Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Problem building ethereal 0.10.11

["Magnus Ljung" <magnus.ljung@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile etheral 0.10.11 on Solaris 10 using gcc 3.3.

I've successfully run ./configure --without-pcap resulting in:

The Ethereal package has been configured with the following options.
                    Build ethereal : yes
                   Build tethereal : yes
                    Build capinfos : yes
                     Build editcap : yes
                    Build mergecap : yes
                   Build text2pcap : yes
                     Build idl2eth : yes
                     Build randpkt : no
                      Build dftest : yes

                    Install setuid : no
                       Use plugins : yes
               Use GTK+ v2 library : yes
                       Use threads : no
            Build profile binaries : no
                  Use pcap library : no
                  Use zlib library : yes
                  Use pcre library : no
              Use kerberos library : no
              Use GNU ADNS library : no
            Use SSL crypto library : no
          Use IPv6 name resolution : no
     Use UCD SNMP/Net-SNMP library : no

Then I've run make and I get the following output:

done; \
if test "$dot_seen" = "no"; then \
  make  "$target-am" || exit 1; \
fi; test -z "$fail"
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'

It seems to me that the problem is that libtool doesn't like the -R:. flag,
but isn't libtool generated by configure? And the -R flag also?

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks
