Zabbix 1.1.1 -- Re:problem with --enable-static

[thebrowser]

hi,
this bug still exists in the 1.1.1 release.

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1558&highlight=__res_query

I used the following patch:

After running ./configure edit the file src/zabbix_agent/Makefile

On these lines append /usr/lib/libresolv.a (FYI libresolv.a is part of the glibc-devel package).

zabbix_agent_LDADD = ../libs/zbxsysinfo/libzbxsysinfo.a ../libs/zbxsysinfo/linux/libzbxsysinfo2.a \
../libs/zbxlog/libzbxlog.a \
../libs/zbxcrypto/libzbxcrypto.a ../libs/zbxnet/libzbxnet.a ../libs/zbxconf/libzbxconf.a \
../libs/zbxcommon/libzbxcommon.a /usr/lib/libresolv.a

zabbix_agentd_LDADD = ../libs/zbxsysinfo/libzbxsysinfo.a ../libs/zbxsysinfo/linux/libzbxsysinfo2.a ../libs/zbxlog/libzbxlog.a ../libs/zbxcrypto/libzbxcrypto.a \
../libs/zbxpid/libzbxpid.a ../libs/zbxnet/libzbxnet.a ../libs/zbxconf/libzbxconf.a \
../libs/zbxcommon/libzbxcommon.a /usr/lib/libresolv.a

It has allowed the compilation to finish without error. ( Only 1 warning ).

i can confirm this bug is still there in 1.1.1. However, linking
shared is recommended way to go (if you dont depend on static
linked binaries).

Does it mean that the libresolv.a must be unconditionally added when compiling with --enable-static?
