With SunOS 5.7 there is no C/C++ compiler shipped with the OS. To my knowledge this is the case for all 5.x versions up to 5.9 (that means for all commercial versions before OpenSolaris was released). Looking at The Open Group Technical Standard Base Specifications: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/scandir.html scandir() is an official standard since Issue 7 aka POSIX.1-2008. Older implementations may be not compliant. IMHO it was therefore in general a good idea to emulate it on older systems with opendir()/readdir()/closedir() as in FLTK 1.3.0 because these functions are standardized over 20 years longer (since Issue 2 aka XPG2 from 1987). Next weekend I can try to write a new implementation with matching license.
