- Solaris works fine with the "posix" target. But if you want
to enable dynamic loading: it needs "-ldl", but not "-Wl,-E".
In case you want to support it officially:
I feel uneasy at adding more "official" targets to the Makefile; it
seems
to imply that we have tested them all, but we only have convenient
access
to Linux and Mac OS X (convenient in the sense that we can readily
test
any changes).
It seems to me that community effort is needed for supplying the
correct
incantations for each platform -- the community is being great with
that. But, as Mike says, do we really want to have two targets for
each
platform, one with say readline or dynamic loading, and one without?
I'm not sure what to do. We can just include those incantations
suggested
by the community and hope that they work; but we cannot test them all.
What is worse, "solaris" or "bsd" or "macosx" may not mean the same
thing
to different persons...
