I'm trying to build hivex 1.2.7 on Ubuntu 10.04, and get the following failure: Making all in xml make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/sandbox/src/hivex/hivex-1.2.7/xml' CC hivexml-hivexml.o CCLD hivexml hivexml-hivexml.o: In function `main': /opt/sandbox/src/hivex/hivex-1.2.7/xml/hivexml.c:86: undefined reference to `rpl_getopt' /opt/sandbox/src/hivex/hivex-1.2.7/xml/hivexml.c:100: undefined reference to `rpl_optind' /opt/sandbox/src/hivex/hivex-1.2.7/xml/hivexml.c:133: undefined reference to `rpl_optind' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [hivexml] Error 1 (For completeness, I should say the building is occuring in a chroot environment where an Ubuntu 10.04 image resides, not on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine proper. But, I doubt this has anything to do with the problem.) Perhaps something has gone wrong in the adoptions of a replacement getopt and optind? Said adoption was apparently triggered by the configure script, which reported: checking for working GNU getopt function... no This in turn was likely due to this bit in the config script, since Ubuntu 10.04 reportedly uses 2.11 of glibc: /* This code fails on glibc 2.11. */ { char *argv[] = { "program", "-b", "-a", NULL }; optind = opterr = 0; if (getopt (3, argv, "+:a:b") != 'b') result |= 64; else if (getopt (3, argv, "+:a:b") != ':') result |= 64; } return result; I am able to build hivex 1.2.5 in this environment just fine. I don't need hivexml, but haven't yet figured out how to turn off its build, and suspect other getopt uses will need to be replaced, anyhow. Any suggestions?
