Re: Problem compiling and linking with asyn

Hi Jörn,


I want to fix this for the next release of asyn.


Did you have to change anything to get it to find rpc.h at compile time?  The source code has this line:


#include <rpc/rpc.h>

I think that when using tirpc the path is tirpc/rpc/rpc/h.  Did you have to add /usr/include/tirpc to the include search paths?

Subject: Problem compiling and linking with asyn

Hello folks,

I had a problem compiling and linking the asyn module on my OpenSuSE
Tumbleweed. It failed to link with error messages complaining about missing
symbols from lib asyn. The symbols all start with xdr_. Adding the libtirpc to
the SYS_LIBS solved the problem.
I confirmed with the SuSE team, that the change from glibc rpc code to
libtirpc was on purpose, as the glibc code does not support TCP/IP V6 as
transport protocol. The same should be true for other distributions.
So I guess that this library should be added to SYS_LIBS_Linux as it is
already done for cygwin.

Regards,

Jörn
