Solaris 10 socket library build problem

[mcarpenter]

Compiling current head of polarssl-1.2 on Solaris 10 appears to be missing linker flags (-lsocket, -lnsl)? Compilation fails.

Check programs/Makefile:

# To compile on SunOS: add "-lsocket -lnsl" to LDFLAGS

In order to let Makefile be as make-independent as possible, no 'difficult' macros are used that might not be supported by all instantiations of make..

So, if you use Makefile you'll have to do this by hand at this point, until we find a nice way to do it make-independent.

We explicitly include this into a Solaris Knowledge Base article

This has been integrated in the Knowledge base article for compiling PolarSSL on Solaris
