In order to get my Solaris build to link, I also had to 'cd' into modules/zlib, build it, and then add it to the link line.

Looks like Solaris build isn't pulling cmd/unixfe/config/unixfe.mk. This looks like where the zlib magic defines are done. Ramiro, is this right?

I figured out what the problem is. Here at Netscape, we mount /usr/local off the network. On Solaris, /usr/local/include has zlib.h. Autoconf uses the existence of that file as it's test for a native zlib. However, zlib is not properly installed on /usr/local (i.e. /usr/local/lib/libzlib.a does not exit) therefore the link fails. We can either make the autoconf more strict, or make IS fix the /usr/local mess.

thanks, slamm. maybe both fixes make sense. I'll call IS if you'll put the fix in autoconf. -pn

slamm tells me this problem would exist only for internal people building cmonkey on solaris.... and he has fixed the problem for himself. I have entered a problem request to IS for them to install the zlib lib in addition to the zlib include file. Most likely slamm will know the other internal folks building on Solaris, so this bug can be closed.
