-----------------------------------
Summary: c_glib: Build fails due to missing features.h
Key: THRIFT-3512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3512
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: C glib - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9.4
Environment: gcc 4.8.5 on Haiku hrev49940 (x86)
Reporter: Simon South
Assignee: Simon South
Priority: Minor
Building the C (GLib) library test suite on Haiku fails with an error about a
missing {{features.h}}:
{noformat}
testbinaryprotocol.c:25:22: fatal error: features.h: No such file or directory
#include <features.h>
^
{noformat}
This header appears to be part of GNU libc and is not defined by POSIX, which
explains why it would not be available on Haiku. The same applies to the BSDs,
for which I notice a preprocessor directive was added that explicitly checks
for these platforms.
A better solution is probably to omit including the header whenever GNU libc is
not being used, rather than listing every platform on which it is not available.
