The "solution" proposed in that last message doesn't seem very wise to me. The 3.1.6 configure script does check if your C library has mkstemp or not, and sets HAVE_MKSTEMP accordingly, so I don't think it's a case of your system not having the function. It seems more a case of it not being declared in any of the standard headers that htdig/ExternalParser.cc includes. By Solaris 5.5, do you mean Solaris 2.5 (a.k.a. SunOS 5.5)? I only have access to Solaris 8 & 9 at our University, and on both of those, mkstemp() is declared in stdlib.h, which htdig/ExternalParser.cc includes. At least, it seems to be declared there, but with all the #ifdef's it's hard to tell which declaration, if any will apply for an ht://Dig compilation. I've never built ht://Dig on Solaris myself (never had the need to), so I don't know how much help I can provide. But for starters, I'd suggest grepping for mkstemp in /usr/include/*.h to see where it's declared, if at all, and doing a uname -r to see which SunOS version you're running. The whole issue of SunOS vs. Solaris version numbering is rather confusing, but if I recall, SunOS 5.0 and up are Solaris 2.0 and up, and if you're above Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6), then you just drop the "2." (or "5.") part and use just 7, 8 or 9. Any other Solaris users out there able to lend a hand with this mkstemp problem? I don't know which Solaris versions have this problem, but it's not the first time this has come up. -- Gilles R.
