Re: libidn2-2.3.0 and compile error on Solaris 11.3

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi Jeff,

I believe this is not related to libidn2.

Please
  grep global_symbol_pipe libtool
to see what I mean.

$global_symbol_pipe is empty in your case - it should hold some command.

Also $lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe is empty (see config.log), while it
should hold something like:

lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe='sed -n -e '\''s/^.*[
]\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\)[         ][
]*\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)$/\1 \2 \2/p'\'' | sed '\''/ __gnu_lto/d'\'''

In 'configure' you can find this comment:

# Check for command to grab the raw symbol name followed by C symbol
from nm.
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking command to parse $NM
output from $compiler object" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking command to parse $NM output from $compiler
object... " >&6; }
if ${lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe+:} false; then :
  $as_echo_n "(cached) " >&6
else
...

So it looks like you need 'nm' somehow working together with your
compiler !?

But well, I can't really help you here.

Regards, Tim
