Subject: OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 won't compile on Solaris 8 x86

The error I get when I run make

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/include -I/opt/include -I.
-I.. -I. -I./.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c getcwd.c
getcwd.c:39: sys/dir.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `getcwd.o'
Current working directory
/export/home/munnik/openssh-2.5.1p1/openbsd-compat
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target
`openbsd-compat/libopenbsd-compat.a'

/usr/include/sys/dir.h doesn't exist on Solaris 8 x86, but there is a
/usr/ucbinclude/sys/dir.h but when I include that directory it is getting
even worse

Is this a known problem and is there a solution?

with regards
Martijn de Munnik

Can you check to see if you have a manpage for 'getcwd' for Solaris 8? 
I
have one for Solaris 7.  I can't see them throwing out a standard C
function.


You should be using 2.5.1p2.  2.5.1p1 has a few known issues with Solaris.


Thanks.

sys/dir.h is normally found in the /usr/include directory. The file bears a 
GNU license, so it is likely part of the gcc environment. If you are 
missing this file, you might have gcc installed improperly. I've 
successfully built OpenSSH-2.5.1p2 on Solaris8 x86 with Forte Workshop 6.0 
("cc"). Those boxes do not have "sys/dir.h".
