Hi again,

Dear Alex,

It's their system (Solaris) and they can do whatever they want to it. These include files are system files property of Sun.

If they say: "we support POSIX and C99" they _have_ to fix fix horrible bug...


The issue is whether kannel can build on Solaris or not. Right now it can't, and I am not certain that this is a problem only with Solaris 10.

Granted it is not the first time that you make workarounds for particular OS's "percularities". What's one more?

Hmm, I don't see any workarounds for any OS... just some defaults pre-set.

Anyway, I would commit a proper fix for this issue, but what you posted is not a proper fix because configure is always overwritten if autoconf called for kannel. So please try with some patch that changes only configure.in.


BTW, If I remove this constraint kannel builds fine on Solaris. Am I to worry that I have a corrupted build? For what reason did C99 was introduced after 1.4.1?


kannel needs C99 at least for such structs:
static struct dlr_storage handles = {
    .type = "mysql",
    .dlr_add = dlr_mysql_add,
    .dlr_get = dlr_mysql_get,
    .dlr_update = dlr_mysql_update,
    .dlr_remove = dlr_mysql_remove,
    .dlr_shutdown = dlr_mysql_shutdown,
    .dlr_messages = dlr_mysql_messages,
    .dlr_flush = dlr_mysql_flush
};


BR,
Nikos

Hi,

we definitely need C99, this is configure that checks for gnu99...
I think this is a bug in solaris and kannel has nothing todo with it.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi list,
A couple of changes in configure so that it builds in Solaris. It checks if os = solaris and CC = gcc and releaves the requirement for gnu99 compiler (gcc after all is). Definition of gnu99 clashes with Sun's definition of HUGE_VAL in /usr/include/iso/math_c99.h Can someone explain me why the sudden interest for gnu99 compiler? It didn't used to be so in 1.4.1 and kannel was compiling fine back then.
 BR,
Nikos
