dovecot - Jun 2008 - configure error on HP-UX: C99 compatible vsnprintf() call

Hi All,

I tried to build dovecot-1.1.rc9 on a HP-UX machine, but failed to configure
with the following message:

configure: error: You don't appear to have C99 compatible vsnprintf() call

The environment is like the following:
  - command: ./configure
  - uname: HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
  - aCC version: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]

Also, I tried to run `./configure CC=c99' and `./configure
CC="/opt/aCC/bin/aCC -Ae" also, but the result was the same. I'm
not sure, but the HP C compiler does not seem to support C99 fully with
vsnprintf() call.

Is there any workaround for this problem?

TIA,

Woonsan

You're in luck, I just yesterday fixed a lot of problems with HP-UX. My
latest changes are in http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-hpux.tar.gz

Could you try that and tell me if it compiles and everything works?
v1.1.rc10 release is actually just waiting for someone to confirm that
the HP-UX changes work..

Hi Timo,

Thank you very much for quick response.
I have just tested with your new package, but they print other errors during
`make':

1. `make' after `configure'

Error 239: "str-find.c", line 17 # A struct/union shall not contain a
member
    with incomplete type.
            int goodtab[];
                ^^^^^^^

2. `make' after `configure CC=/opt/aCC/bin/aCC -AC99'

Error 20: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 83 # '<number>'
expected before '.'.
            MEMBER(v) &static_alloconly_pool_vfuncs,
            ^^^^^^
Error 19: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 83 # Unexpected ','.
            MEMBER(v) &static_alloconly_pool_vfuncs,
                                                   ^
Error 19: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 86 # Unexpected '.'.
            MEMBER(datastack_pool) FALSE
            ^^^^^^
Error 186: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 83 # Left side of '.'
requires a struct
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.


The environment here:
  - uname: HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
  - aCC version: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]


Kind regards,

Woonsan
