[Lynx-dev] lynx2.8.7pre.1 build problem

[Virden, Larry W.]

I am trying to build the latest 2.8.7 source distribution and I am
having a problem understanding what I need to do.

I configure the source. I run the gmake. I get a lynx. However, more is
being built, as I am seeing

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

When I take a look at line 534, I see

/*
 * Printing/scanning-formats for "off_t", as well as cast needed to fit.
 */
#if defined(HAVE_INTTYPES_H) && defined(SIZEOF_OFF_T)
#if (SIZEOF_OFF_T == 8) && defined(PRId64)

(pointing at the PRId64) line

And when I look at line 572, I see:

/*
 * Printing-format for "time_t", as well as cast needed to fit.
 */
#if defined(HAVE_INTTYPES_H) && defined(SIZEOF_TIME_T)
#if (SIZEOF_TIME_T == 8) && defined(PRId64)


This is using Sun's Forte C compiler. I tried splitting the if into 2
#if's, and I get the same error with the line
#if (SIZEOF_OFF_T == 8)


Looking more, I wonder if SIZEOF_OFF_T is an empty string. That would
certainly explain the error that I am seeing.
I don't, however, know why .

Looking through the config.log, I see:

configure:34144: cc -c -g -Xa -xtransition -xarch=v9

"./lynx_cfg.h", line 227: warning: macro redefined: SIZEOF_OFF_T
"./lynx_cfg.h", line 228: warning: macro redefined: SIZEOF_TIME_T

And later

#define SIZEOF_OFF_T 

As well as:

$ grep SIZEOF_OFF_T *.h
cfg_defs.h:     { "SIZEOF_OFF_T",       "" },
lynx_cfg.h:#define SIZEOF_OFF_T                 /*
AC_CHECK_SIZEOF(off_t) */
srv29 (59568) $ 

So it looks like something isn't working quite right, using Sun's c
compiler.
