Hi there,<div><br></div><div>I recently cross-compiled dropbear using the GNU ARM compiler from CodeSourcery for Android and everything seems to be working as expected with the exception of DNS name resolution, for example:</div>
<div><br></div><div>./dbclient <a href="mailto:mat@192.168.0.8">mat@192.168.0.8</a></div><div><br></div><div>works, however,</div><div><br></div><div>./dbclient mat@mat-laptop does not work. </div><div><br></div><div>In the Android shell I can run ping mat-laptop successfully so I am not quite sure what is happening in the dropbear case. I am compiling the latest version of dropbear and using android platform 8 i.e. Froyo aka 2.2. Another source has indicated that they experienced similar problems with 2.x Android platforms and dropbear which do not seem to present themselves in Android 3.x.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was wondering if anyone on this list have any suggestions as to what might be going wrong and where to start looking to address the issue. I believe I have tracked the issue down to 'getaddrinfo()' in which I can only presume is going wrong on the os side.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any advice will be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Matthew Baker</div>
