Bug 31529 – net-dns/hesiod fails to build against newer glibc

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Gorse 2003-10-19 12:24:09 UTC]

hesiod's configure script tests for send_mkquery and will add
-lresolv if it finds it there, but it doesn't find it because res_mkquery
became a macro at some point, and the autoconf test doesn't include
resolv.h, which is needed for the macro to be defined.

I simply got it to work on my system by stealing a patch from the
RedHat 9 srpm and adding it to my copy of the ebuild.

which hesiod version? please provide a link to the patch.

[Comment 2 Michael Gorse 2003-10-19 18:24:37 UTC]

Version 3.0.2 (the only version in the distro, afaik).
The patch is from the rh 9 hesiod srpm; I've put up a copy of it at
http://mgorse.home.dhs.org/hesiod-3.0.2-libresolv.patch

-r1 commited :)

[Comment 4 Michael Gorse 2003-10-24 04:55:32 UTC]

hesiod-3.0.2-r1 still doesn't build for me.  The configure.in patch
has no effect unless autoconf is run.  It builds if I had autoconf to
the unpack function.
(I'm using amd64 with the latest portage tree, in case it matters.)
