Hi all,
We've been running Dovecot since December '07 with with no glitches.
It's a great solid piece of software, thanks so much Timo!!
I thought I'd try out 1.1.1, so I brought it down and tried compiling
it on AIX, using the IBM compiler, xlc. It's what I've used all along.
The error I'm seeing on the make is:
source='array.c' object='array.o' libtool=no
DEPDIR=.deps depmode=aix /
bin/sh ../../depcomp xlc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/openssl_0.
9.7e/include -g -qcpluscmt -c array.c
"macros.h", line 149.68: 1506-211 (S) Parameter list must be empty, or
consist o
f one or more identifiers separated by commas.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.
Looking at macros.h, the section it is erroring on is:
#ifdef CONTEXT_TYPE_SAFETY
# define CONTEXT_CALLBACK(name, callback_type, callback, context, ...) \
({(void)(1 ? 0 : callback(context)); \
name(__VA_ARGS__, (callback_type *)callback, context); })
#else
# define CONTEXT_CALLBACK(name, callback_type, callback, context, ...) \
name(__VA_ARGS__, (callback_type *)callback, context)
#endif
The second define is the line the error occurs on. Has anyone seen this
before. I'm assuming xlc can't handle the '...' parameter, and
an hoping
there is an option I can enable. Just thought I might see if anyone else
has already solved this issue.
Thanks much!
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I compiled dovecot-1.1.1 on AIX 5.3 with xlc, "IBM(R) XL C/C++ Enterprise
Edition V8.0 for AIX(R)", but I didn't see that error. Which version of
xlc are you using?
In my case, I succeeded in making it after modification of two generated
sources:
(1) src/plugins/quota/rquota.h
I added `#include <rpc/rpc.h>' on the top.
(2) src/plugins/quota/rquota_xdr.c
I modified it like the following:
#include "/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.h"
==>
#include "rquota.h"
Regards,
Woonsan

Is there something like a -c99 parameter? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

> Can you somehow enable C99 support for xlc? Is there something like a > -c99 parameter?Thank Timo, Woosan and Asheesh for your help. I did see a parameter for xlc (-qlanglvl=extc99), but our compiler is too old, and it doesn't recognize it. I then tried gcc, we had version 4.0.0 installed, and it does compile. I did have to do the changes Woonsan recommended (below).> In my case, I succeeded in making it after modification of two > generated sources: > > (1) src/plugins/quota/rquota.h > I added `#include <rpc/rpc.h>' on the top. > (2) src/plugins/quota/rquota_xdr.c > I modified it like the following: > #include "/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.h" > ==> > #include "rquota.h"My compiliation method wasn't very elegant. I did the make, saw an error, and rquota.h was created. I edited rquota.h as shown above. I ran make a second time which errored, but generated rquota_xdr.c. I edited rquota_xdr.c, and the third make succeeded. Is there a cleaner method to use? Thanks again, it's very comforting to know I can compile it!
