Hello all
In trying to compile the binaries for SGI I noticed that my linker (ld) does
not use the XDRLIB for resolving anything for many modules and the modules seem
to link fine (ie there are no link errors of undefined symbols). Is this the
case for other platforms? Why is it included in so many modules that don't seem
to need it? Or does SGI provide the functionality in another library?
Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Justin,
the XDRLIB is set on Solaris and Linux (-lnsl parameter to CC).
I don't know the use for it but it is essential for these
platforms.

Hi,
i have currently no access to IRIX, but i remember that this library is
'-lsun' on SGI IRIX. But i could be completely wrong here. IMHO it does
no harm to include the XDRLIB, the linker will only echo several times
that the library is not used to resolve any symbol.
This will all be resolved properly with the new make setup and dynamic
libraries, so we should not waste too many thoughts on this.
cu,
Andreas
