Won't build on Solaris systems

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Here's the summary of issues found as I tried to build shellinabox on Solaris 
(snv_89 and SmartOS):

* libhttp/url.c defines _XOPEN_SOURCE=500, but that's illegal with C99 in 
sys/feature_tests.h. Using C99 requires at least _XOPEN_SOURCE=600.

* sys/socket.h needs at least _XPG4_2 to define msg_control & msg_controllen. 
Setting _XOPEN_SOURCE=600 in Makefile fixes these two first items.

* Some termios related bits do not exist on Solaris at all and need an explicit 
definition (TTYDEF_IFLAG, TTYDEF_OFLAG, TTYDEF_LFLAG, TTYDEF_CFLAG).

* objcopy may not be present on Solaris. On SmartOS, it's not provided with the 
OS at all, but we provide it from binutils, however, it'd be nice to include a 
check for 'gobjcopy' which should be present on Solaris/OpenSolaris proper.

* RLIMIT_NPROC doesn't exist on Solaris.

* These functions do not exist on Solaris at all: getgrouplist, getresuid, 
setresuid, setresgid, getresgid

I was able to patch around all but the last one, which obviously needs more 
code in than I'm able to supply.

There is a revised autotools with 2.11.  Please retest when the release is made.

With 2.14 only last issue is fixed, but new one raised: getgrouplist() also 
does not exist on Solaris

getgrouplist() can be fixed by adding this function to launcher.c. Code can be 
taken at, say 
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/kde-base/kdelibs/files/k
delibs-4.3.2-solaris-getgrouplist.patch?revision=1.1

Also '-lresolv -lnsl -lsocket' need to be passed to linker on Solaris
