Both NULL and RAND_MAX are ANSI C.
(p.102) (p.252) of my Kernighan & Ritchie, 2nd. ed.
<stdio.h> <stdlib.h>
However, I've experienced myself and heard more than once that
SunOS 4.x.x has always had broken header (*.h) files.
Actually I had thought that the headers that come with gcc would
``ifdef around these''...
Anyway, add the following lines to your src/include/Platform.h
#ifndef NULL
#define NULL 0
#endif
#ifndef RAND_MAX
#define RAND_MAX 32767
#endif
(or just to the beginning of src/nmath/sunif.c).
-----------
Kurt, could we add this bug-workaround to configure.in and Platform.in
such that something like
#ifdef SunOS4
/*-- define missing ANSI C --*/
#define NULL 0
#define RAND_MAX 32767
#endif
---
Un(?)fortunately, I haven't had access to SunOS4 machines for more than a
year now.
