Hello listmates, I've just submitted a patch to deal with a portability issue, but I know that anything involving configure is prone to unintended consequences. I wanted to discuss it a bit here.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1006298&group_id=12694&atid=312694 The short description is that the code now doesn't deal well with the tm.tm_gmtoff struct member, using an ugly set of #ifdefs to decide if this field exists: it's trying to use system-test macros: #if !defined(SYSV) && !defined(aix4) && !defined(aix5) && !defined(WIN32) && !defined(irix6) This is a *terrible* way to do this, because things like "SYSV" are a little bit vague, and the whole chain gets exponentially ugly as it gets longer. I spent a day and a half (ugh!) figuring out how to add a bit of code to configure so it defines STRUCT_TM_HAS_TM_GMTOFF, and the code that needs it uses it. Now to do the rest of the Unixware fixes :-( Steve -- Stephen J Friedl | Security Consultant | UNIX Wizard | +1 714 544-6561 www.unixwiz.net | Tustin, Calif.
