Solaris 10 issues with mdocml-1.12.3

Solaris 10 issues with mdocml-1.12.3

[Thomas Klausner]

Hi!

pkgsrc got a bug report for mandoc not building on Solaris 10.
pkgsrc contains mdocml-1.12.3.

Here's the bug report; questions about details please directly to Jörn.

Furthermore, on pkgsrc-users, Michael Jansen hinted at a second problem:

"-pkgin & pbulk don’t build because of textproc/mdocml (first a lack
of asprint, now a problem with BTREEINFO in apropos_db.c)"

Both are cc'd.

Cheers,
 Thomas

textproc/mdocml does not link on Solaris 10:

--- mandoc ---
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
asprintf                            libmandoc.a(mdoc.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to mandoc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [mandoc] Error code 1

because Solaris 10 does not provide asprintf in libc.

There is an implementation in devel/gettext-asprintf. What is the correct way to tell mdocml to additionally link this library? Simply adding

.include "../../devel/gettext-asprintf/buildlink3.mk"

is not enough, and I haven't found the answer in the pkgsrc guide. Maybe I didn't look hard enough?

Update from Michael: Builds now for him: "it appears that an upgrade
from Solaris10 update 9 to Solaris10 update 11 on my pkgsrc zone is the
reason mdocml now builds. It seems Oracle has implemented asprintf in
latest release."

I assume the problem with BTREEINFO will be gone in 1.13.1
because we no longer use Berkeley DB.

Good, so i understand there is nothing more to do here?

Of course, re-testing with mandoc-1.13.1-rc2 is very welcome!

Yours,
