[Cvsnt] building cvsnt on Solaris

[Anthony Williams]

I have just tried to build CVSNT on Solaris (using gcc 3.1), but linking
failed when building the shared libraries for the protocols, because -fpic
wasn't specified when compiling the individual source files.

Also, when compiling on Solaris 8 ( as opposed to 7 ), it still tries to use
the fake-addrinfo and fake-inet-aton stuff, even though Solaris 8 has the
required functions, which causes a compilation failure. Defining
HAVE_GETADDRINFO and HAVE_INET_ATON in config.h fixes this, so it would
appear to be a configure problem.

Once built, and installed, on Solaris 8 it reports that it cannot use
pserver, even though it finds the shared library:

$ cvs -t -d :pserver:anthwil at anthwil-2/cvsroot login
C -> Loading protocol /usr/local/lib/cvsnt/pserver_protocol.so
cvs [login aborted]: the :pserver: access method is not supported by this
port of CVS

Are there any additional debug flags I can use to try and pin down the
problem?
