Why -lresolv?
Howdy,
I am building an application using the OpenLDAP 2.0 libraries. Whenever I
link against -lldap -llber, I also must add -lresolv. I find this
annoying. Obviously, you *must* link in all three libraries, or the link
will fail, so why are these symbols unresolved in libldap.so? For
example, the symbols for libssl and libcrypto are resolved, so I don't
have to pull them in explicitly.
How can I fix this, so my application only has to pull in libldap? I am
building on Linux, using ./configure with no arguments.
(I have made this fix in my local libs by building them by hand. However,
I think it would be best if this fix was in the real build system.)
Regards,
Jeffrey Baker
