[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to build libproxy on solaris

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected:
build successfully
Seen instead:
libtool: link: sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc -I../../src/lib -g -std=c99 -O2

make[2]: *** [proxy] Error 1

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

libproxy-0.2.3
SunOS 5.10 Generic_138888-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire

Please provide any additional information below.

The error is because gethostbyname, freeaddrinfo, inet_pton etc. require
the -lsocket -lnsl linker flags.
Adding the flags to the build system fixes the problem. Probably the
correct way to proceed is adding a configure check whether gethostbyname
requires -lsocket -lnsl.

Please try with the trunk version.

the solaris issues should have been fixed in the meantime.
