Summary: rsync uses extraneous libresolv.dylib
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.5
Platform: PPC
OS/Version: Mac OS X
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
ReportedBy: psfales at lucent.com
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
When we build rsync on darwin 10.3, it's linked with -lresolv which is
/usr/lib/libresolv.dylib. However, it's not really necessary because rsync
will still link and run if -lresolv is not used. The only reason I noticed
this is that we sometimes take the 10.3 compiled binaries and run them on a 10.2
system. Since 10.2 doesn't have this library, the binary won't run there - but
it will if libresolv is not used.
The configure test is:
checking for inet_ntop in -lresolv... yes
I'm guessing that it's adding -lresolv if this check passes, even if -lresolv is
not really needed to find the symbol.
This is probably a minor issue, but it seems like it would cleaner to not have
rsync depending on a library that it doesn't really need.
