[Libevent-users] Linking errors on Solaris 10

[Shanti Subramanyam - PAE]

See my earlier post on this in the archives.

I'll summarize all the changes required to build on Solaris 10 (and 
please don't use gcc if you're building on SPARC, use Sun Studio 11) :

event.h : Replace all usages of 'u_int*_t' with 'uint*_t'.

event_tagging.c, http.c : replace '__inline' with 'inline'

event_rpcgen.py: Change 1st line to "#!/usr/bin/env /usr/sfw/bin/python"

Run configure as follows :
  ./configure LDFLAGS="-lnsl -lresolv"

If you're using Sun Studio, please set CFLAGS to "-xO4 -xtarget=generic" 
for good performance.
