Description:While Asterisk itself builds cleanly on OpenSolaris, asterisk-addons does not due to invalid linker flags.

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/admin/asterisk-addons-1.6.2.svn/cdr'
  [CC] cdr_addon_mysql.c -> cdr_addon_mysql.o
  [LD] cdr_addon_mysql.o -> cdr_addon_mysql.so
usage: ld [-6:abc:d:e:f:h:il:mo:p:rstu:z:B:CD:F:GI:L:M:N:P:Q:R:S:VW:Y:?] file(s)
<...ld usage output removed...>

I can still manually link the objects with the following commands:
gcc -pg -shared -o cdr_addon_mysql.so -L/opt/SUNWspro/lib -lCrun -lrt -L/usr/mysql/5.0/lib/mysql -R/usr/mysql/5.0/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm cdr_addon_mysql.o

Can you perhaps provide a patch for this?  Testing is difficult without OpenSolaris on hand.

@jtodd, unfortunately I have to claim ignorance.  I did try looking in the makefile for asterisk-addons, but could not find a suitable place to define linker flags.  As best I can tell, it's referencing the options created by the asterisk build, but I couldn't find a suitable place there either.

I can offer two options though: 1) if someone can point me in the right direction where to make those changes, I will work on a patch; or 2) I can provide SSH access to an OpenSolaris host on which test builds can be made.

Can you run gmake with NOISY_BUILD=yes?  Would be helpful to see what ld is trying to do.
By: Ben Klang (bklang) 2010-03-23 14:21:08

Here is the output from NOISY_BUILD when linking:

gcc  -o cdr_addon_mysql.so   -shared -Xlinker -x cdr_addon_mysql.o
usage: ld [-6:abc:d:e:f:h:il:mo:p:rstu:z:B:CD:F:GI:L:M:N:P:Q:R:S:VW:Y:?] file(s)
... lots of "ld" output removed ...

I note a couple things here:
1) It's not using the MySQL client library information from makeopts.  My makeopts has
MYSQLCLIENT_LIB=-L/opt/SUNWspro/lib -lCrun -lrt -L/usr/mysql/5.0/lib/mysql -R/usr/mysql/5.0/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm

2) As noted originally, these linker flags are not valid for Solaris' ld (specifically -Xlinker and -x)

Now that the MySQL modules have been moved back in-tree with Asterisk 1.8, this issue is mostly resolved.

There is still a problem on OpenSolaris because the CFLAGS reported by mysql_config are for Sun Studio's CC and are incompatible with GCC.  However by removing all the "-x" args manually from makeopts after running ./configure I have working mysql modules.

It's not Asterisk's fault that mysql_config reports unusable flags.  If anyone else has a bright idea about working around this I'd love to hear it, but at this point I've got a functional (if manual) build.

Are you still experiencing this problem? It looks like OpenSolaris no longer exists, is this still reproducible on one of the derivatives/forks?
