Re: Bug #706: Wrong shlib flag for GCC compilation on Solaris

In current CVS I see this, which looks fine.  Does yours look the same?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


ifeq ($(PORTNAME), solaris)
  shlib                 :=
lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_
VERSION)
  ifndef cplusplus
    ifeq ($(GCC), yes)
      LINK.shared       = $(CC) -shared
    else
      LINK.shared       = $(CC) -G
    endif
  else
    ifeq ($(GXX), yes)
      LINK.shared       = $(CXX) -shared
    else
      LINK.shared       = $(CXX) -G
    endif
  endif
  ifeq ($(with_gnu_ld), yes)
    LINK.shared         += -Wl,-soname,$(soname)
  else
    LINK.shared         += -h $(soname)
  endif
endif

Thisis okay if you are using the Sun toolset.  Unfortunately GCC needs the flag "-shared" instead.  The symptom that
revealsthis is that pgaccess won't work because libpgtcl.so contains the "main" symbol.  My workaround was to edit in
thenew flag.  Somebody on the team might want to modify the Makefile to account for use of the gcc toolset.  This
defectset me back three days.  Please don't let anyone else suffer through this.  It might be well to post it as a
knownproblem on Solaris.
