gnome-vfs 2.5.2 build fails on solaris 2.8 because internal libgnomevfs symbols accessed externally by daemons

["Timothy Murphy" <tmurphy mailbox co za>]

Hi,

I am having trouble compiling gnome-vfs 2.5.2 on Solaris
2.8 (gcc 3.3.2).  The problem is that the various vfs
daemons are trying to use functions that are marked as
"LOCL" to the gnome-vfs library.  These functions have a
"_" character on the front which causes the libgnomevfs
makefile to mark them as not exportable when libgnomevfs is
created.

The symptom when compiling is this:
Undefined            first referenced
 symbol                  in file
_gnome_vfs_drive_to_corba           gnome-vfs-daemon.o
_gnome_vfs_daemon_convert_to_corba_file_info
gnome-vfs-async-daemon.o
_gnome_vfs_daemon_convert_from_corba_file_info
gnome-vfs-async-daemon.o
_gnome_vfs_volume_monitor_emit_pre_unmount
gnome-vfs-daemon.o
_gnome_vfs_daemon_set_current_daemon_client_call
gnome-vfs-async-daemon.o
_gnome_vfs_volume_to_corba          gnome-vfs-daemon.o
gnome_vfs_drive_to_corba            gnome-vfs-daemon.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to
.libs/vfs-daemon


My own quick hack will be to rename these functions so that
they do get exported but you may wish to do something else.

Sorry, I am not subscribed so please cc me if I can provide
more information.

The output of the compilation of the daemon directory
follows together with the output of nm, that shows how some
of the relevant functions are marked "LOCL".

Regards,

Tim
