[Proftpd-user] Seeing this error during make

[Alexander, Bobby J (Bj)]

I'm trying to compile proftpd1.3.5b for a Solaris 8 server.
I'm getting the following error when running the make command.

Interesting. This makes it look like the ProFTPD headers are defining
something which is interfering with defines in those system headers.
Would you be able to send that /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h file as an
attachment, so that we could take a look?

Cheers,

The line above should provide a good clue as to a likely problem.

Solaris 8 is identified as 'sparc-sun-solaris2.8'. When GCC is
installed, a 'fixincludes' step processes operating system headers and
puts the processed versions in the compiler's installation directory.
As a result, unless a special 'fixincludes' step has been done to
assure that the compiler's headers are from 2.8, there is a mix of
fixed header files from 2.6 and unfixed from 2.8.

Solaris 2.6 is very old (from 1997). Solaris 8 is from 2000.

Hello TJ,
Was wondering if you had a chance to look that the header file I sent you?!
