SOLARIS
There are two known issues seen when compiling using the Sun compiler.
The first is that older Sun compilers generate an error on some of
our uses of the flexible array option. Newer versions only generate
a warning, which can be safely ignored. If you run into this error
("type of struct member "buf" can not be derived from structure with
flexible array member"), upgrade your tools to Sun Studio 12 or
something newer.
The second is the interaction between the configure script and the
makefiles for the Bind libraries. Currently we don't pass all
environment variables between the DHCP configure and the Bind configure.
If you attempt to specify the compiler you wish to use like this:
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc ./configure
"make" may not build the Bind libraries with that compiler.
In order to use the same compiler for Bind and DHCP we suggest the
following commands:
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc ./configure
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc make
One problem which has been observed and is not fixed in this
patchlevel has to do with using DLPI on Solaris machines. The symptom
of this problem is that the DHCP server never receives any requests.
