Missing libraries in Dev System?

Hi,

Many months back I obtained the Development System for SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2 (thanks to Ed Fair for his help!) and have been modifying some ancient (10 yr old) C code on one of our servers. I have run into a problem trying to compile one of the programs that deals with a load of TCP/IP and Socket stuff. The compiler line includes -lnsl_s -lsocket and I think I must be missing some libraries.

Does anyone know what extra s/w I need to load in order to compile network support code?

TIA - Alan.
 

Unfortunately, SCO split apart the development libraries and header files (/usr/include/*.h) into separate product offerings in that era. There was the C development package, and a separate development package covering TCP/IP and another development package covering NFS. The runtime packages of TCP/IP and NFS did not include the development components.

What you need to pursue is purchasing the TCP/IP development package for your system. This can be pretty difficult - you may be better off upgrading the system to a newer release or consider migrating to Linux/BSD.
 
Many thanks for that input. I had kinda figured that I needed the extra dev kit, so I was in fact going to give Caldera a call later today. Great minds.... etc, etc.

Thanks again.
 
Well, you aren't going to find it at Caldera. E-Bay would be your best bet.
