From 116462a5123949e3782660c965e2fb7c58e79662 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 12:29:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Added a check that 'localhost' resolves before the gethostbyname_r() checks, as they depend on the resolving of that name. It seems this mistake is happening from time to time and people have a hard time finding out why configure can't detect their gethostbyname_r()-setup. --- configure.in | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in index d071587..5f27a4d 100644 --- a/configure.in +++ b/configure.in @@ -64,8 +64,32 @@ AC_ARG_ENABLE(debug, AC_MSG_RESULT(no) ) +dnl ************************************************************ +dnl check for "localhost", if it doesn't exist, we can't do the +dnl gethostbyname_r tests! +dnl -dnl +AC_DEFUN(CURL_CHECK_WORKING_RESOLVER,[ +AC_MSG_CHECKING([if "localhost" resolves]) +AC_TRY_RUN([ +#include +#include +#include + +int +main () { +struct hostent *h; +h = gethostbyname("localhost"); +exit (h == NULL ? 1 : 0); }],[ + AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)],[ + AC_MSG_RESULT(no) + AC_MSG_ERROR([can't figure out gethostbyname_r() since localhost doesn't resolve]) + + ] +) +]) + +dnl ************************************************************ dnl check for working getaddrinfo() dnl AC_DEFUN(CURL_CHECK_WORKING_GETADDRINFO,[ @@ -681,6 +705,9 @@ then Set to explicitly specify we don't want to use thread-safe functions) else + dnl check that 'localhost' resolves first + CURL_CHECK_WORKING_RESOLVER + dnl dig around for gethostbyname_r() CURL_CHECK_GETHOSTBYNAME_R() -- 2.7.4
