Yeah, sorry, I should have specified that one I guess. This is only the case because the new pcap is a static library, there is no way to specify dependencies for the static object.
The same is true of SunOS 4.x/SVR4.
(Actually, the dependency is on -lodm and -lcfg)
Yes, I discovered that after tweaking the -lodm case.
Unfortunately, that means that all programs using libpcap will, in order to work on AIX, have to be built with "-lodm", meaning that their configure scripts, etc. will have to be changed.Indeed, either that or we can modify pcap to be built as a shared library and avoid the problem?
That could be made to work, although the problem with shared libraries is that the way you build them differs from UNIX to UNIX; we could perhaps throw in a special hack for AIX, but the ideal would be something using libtool to figure out the right thing to do on a variety of platforms (although it'd be useful to be able to configure it to build static libraries as well). - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
