Fwd: [Nut-upsdev] newhidups / Solaris 10 / APC RM1500

[George A. Dowding]

Hi,

I can spend some time trying to get NUT working on Solaris 10 for at 
least 3 or 4 weeks. 

To get the  ball rolling, I tried to get usb to build automatically on 
Solaris 10 using Marty's guide.  This works.  But I will admit I am a 
novice when it comes to autoconf.  I am using the source checked out 
from subversion yesterday.

Did that.

In configure.in added the following:

dnl Solaris 10
dnl     Needs the additional librt
dnl     Needs to find runtime libraries
case $target_os in
        solaris2.10 )
                echo Solaris 10 specific configuration for usb driver
                AC_SEARCH_LIBS(nanosleep,rt)
                LIBUSB_LIBS="-R/usr/sfw/lib $LIBUSB_LIBS"
                echo updating LIBUSB_LIBS $LIBUSB_LIBS
                ;;
esac

In drivers/Makefile.in, make a small change to LIBOBJ:

LIBOBJ  = $(LIBDEP) @NETLIBS@ @SERLIBS@

LIBOBJ  = $(LIBDEP) @NETLIBS@ @SERLIBS@ @LIBS@

The drivers seemed to compile ok without adding these targets after 
making the changes to the autoconf system.
