Yes, there is a scandir() implementation present, but only as part of the BSD compatibility subsystem. Note that SunOS 5.x is no longer BSD based. The manual page reference the /usr/ucb/cc (a BSD compatibility Compiler that is not shipped with the OS distribution). This compiler will find the required header files in /usr/ucbinclude. In /usr/include there is no header file sys/dir.h (therefore the configure script don't find it with other compilers, as intended by Sun). In the manual page there is also a warning notice at the end: | | Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only | applications written on BSD platforms. | Use of these interfaces with any of the system libraries | or in multi-thread applications is unsupported. Looks for me like this implementation is suitable for SunOS 4.x legacy code only and not the "right" solution for FLTK.
