openssh unix dev - Apr 2003 - [Bug 532] Conflicting basename and dirname on solaris

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532

           Summary: Conflicting basename and dirname on solaris
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.6p1
          Platform: UltraSparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: benderm at raytheon.com


While building openssh-3.6p1 or openssh-3.6.1p1 on Solaris 2.5.1 I get the
following errors:

--
In file included from progressmeter.c:66:
/usr/include/libgen.h:26: conflicting types for `basename'
openbsd-compat/basename.h:9: previous declaration of `basename'
/usr/include/libgen.h:50: conflicting types for `dirname'
openbsd-compat/dirname.h:3: previous declaration of `dirname'
--

and the build fails.

Based on information from the openssh-unix-dev mailing list, I edited config.h
and added "#define HAVE_BASENAME 1" and "#define HAVE_DIRNAME
1".  After doing
this, the compile goes farther only to fail at the following point:

--

/home/pancake/benderm/Zip/openssh-3.6.1p1/auth.c:453: undefined reference to
`dirname'

--

If I edit Makefile and add -lgen to LIBS, the compile finishes.

It looks like the configure script needs to check for the existence of basename
and dirname in libgen and adjust the Makefile and config.h accordingly.
