tcp sockets on solaris sparc about postsrsd HOT 9 CLOSED

Weird. It seems that this is a bug in the Solaris libc as described in this post: http://www.sourceware.org/ml/guile/1998-10/msg00132.html

from postsrsd.

Please try the latest version from the master branch and see if the bug is fixed.

i spent a few hours going through code today, and there is no way it can print things twice, its well written.. i was looking around telnet options and extra character echoing.. i thought there might have been a socket bug i didn't get any furthur i ran out of time

so a fseek between read and write, so the buffered read data wont be added to the subsequent write. ugh. maybe people can chip in and donate some buffers for them :)

the code runs on solaris pretty well, but i have limited cmake foo, i needed only to change some paths, add -lsocket -lnsl flags. there is no base64 on solaris, but uuencode does bas64 encoding, well enough

on solaris i tend ti build into prefixes, to avoid splatting system stuff

i'll try it and send some diffs, such as they are :)

i used sucessfully the current master, but added at the top of CMakeLists.txt :

set(EXTRA_LIBS "-lsocket -lnsl")

and after the add_executable :

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${EXTRA_LIBS})

and it compiles and links.. no echo this time :

telnet localhost 10001
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

the EXTRA_LIBS would only work for solaris variants, i added a manual SOLARIS switch

from postsrsd.

there is no base64 on solaris, but the following works :

dd if=/dev/urandom bs=18 count=1 2>/dev/null | openssl base64 -e

from postsrsd.

is there a nice cmake way of detecting that you are on solaris ?

then the EXTRA_LIBS etc., could auto add, iff he platform is solaris

from postsrsd.

I think the canonical way would be to search for libsocket and libnsl and link against it if present.

May I assume that the linked libraries and the openssl addition fix this issue?

from postsrsd.

yes it works ok :)

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to
pause and reflect.
