That's changing this chunk
cat >>confdefs.h <<EOF
#define intptr_t long
EOF
to something like
cat >>confdefs.h <<EOF
#if defined (__TANDEM)
# if ! defined (__cplusplus)
# define intptr_t long
# endif
#else
# define intptr_t long
#endif
EOF
But that would be used if there's something unexpected in the compile-check:
#line 22993 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
$ac_includes_default
int
main (void)
{
if ((intptr_t *) 0)
return 0;
if (sizeof (intptr_t))
return 0;
;
return 0;
}
_ACEOF
rm -f "conftest.$ac_objext"
if { (eval echo "$as_me:23008: \"$ac_compile\"") >&5
or if the way it's used in the code doesn't have the #include's that
were needed in $ac_includes_default
ac_includes_default="\
#include <stdio.h>
#if HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
# include <sys/types.h>
#endif
#if HAVE_SYS_STAT_H
# include <sys/stat.h>
#endif
#if STDC_HEADERS
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <stddef.h>
#else
# if HAVE_STDLIB_H
# include <stdlib.h>
# endif
#endif
#if HAVE_STRING_H
# if !STDC_HEADERS && HAVE_MEMORY_H
# include <memory.h>
# endif
# include <string.h>
#endif
#if HAVE_STRINGS_H
# include <strings.h>
#endif
#if HAVE_INTTYPES_H
# include <inttypes.h>
#else
# if HAVE_STDINT_H
# include <stdint.h>
# endif
#endif
#if HAVE_UNISTD_H
# include <unistd.h>
#endif"
So... what did I miss in the configure script (or C code)?
