Description David Rutitsky 2004-01-07 20:28:03 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 sun sparc
OS:          Solaris

both in kdenetwork-3.1.94 and kdepim-3.1.94 configure produce following error on sun solaris 8:
configure:30133: gcc -c -g3 -fno-inline    -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I/usr/local/incl
cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include"
cc1: warning:   as it has already been specified as a non-system directory
In file included from conftest.c:92:
/usr/include/resolv.h:209: field `nsaddr_list' has incomplete type
/usr/include/resolv.h:219: field `addr' has incomplete type
/usr/include/resolv.h:229: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
configure:30136: $? = 1

I believe the reason is that resolv.h on Solaris needs #include <netinet/in.h>

Attempt at fixing the problem

Have I mentioned that I hate inter-header dependency? Thankfully no one
requires the headers in the *opposite* order to complicate things even further.

For kdepim, no file has any reference to HAVE_RESOLV_H, which would indicate
that the check is unnecessary. I dare not remove the check before the release,
but maybe we can remove it later on to avoid further problems like this.

To be on the safe side, maybe including <sys/types.h> would be a good idea too.
