Compiling samba 2.2.8 on HP-UX 11.00 - conflicting

[Adam Fox]

Thanks Eric, that fixed one of the functions. The functions are declared as:

in stdio.h:
     extern int snprintf(char *, __size_t, char *,...);
     extern int vsnprintf(char *, __size_t, const char *, __va__list);

in snprintf.c:
 int vsnprintf (char *str, size_t count, const char *fmt, va_list args) {
 int snprintf(char *str,size_t count,const char *fmt,...)

I removed the const from the snprintf function in snprintf.c and that fixed
that conflict, but I'm not sure what to do about the vsnprintf function. I
can't see any differences! Then again, I'm not the worlds greatest C
programmer, so I'm probably missing something blindingly obvious. Does
anyone know what I can change in the vsnprintf function to make the compiler
happy?

Thanks

Adam Fox.

I believe the only difference is a 'const' modifier on one of the
arguments in the declaration of the function.  I can't remember if I had
to comment out the implementation part of the fucntions or not.

I edited the source and added the const to the file that didn't have it
and all was right with the world.

of snprintf


Hi all,

I'm trying to compile samba 2.2.8 on a HP-UX 11.00 system. I've run the
configure script without any arguments, but when I run 'make' I get the
following error:

Compiling lib/snprintf.c
lib/snprintf.c:777: conflicting types for `vsnprintf'
/var/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00/3.0/include/stdio.h:494:
previous
declaration of `vsnprintf'
lib/snprintf.c:792: conflicting types for `snprintf'
/var/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00/3.0/include/stdio.h:493:
previous
declaration of `snprintf'
*** Error exit code 1

I did some searching on the mailing list and found other people having
the same problem with other versions of samba, but I didn't find any
solutions. When I ran configure the following was reported about the
printf functions:

checking for asprintf declaration... no
checking for vasprintf declaration... no
checking for vsnprintf declaration... yes
checking for snprintf declaration... yes
[...]
checking for vsnprintf... yes
checking for snprintf... yes
checking for asprintf... no
checking for vasprintf... no

One suggestion I saw was to comment out line 492 and 493 of the stdio.h
from the HP-UX include directory, but I'm not too keen on mucking around
with the HP files. Is it possible to not redefine the snprintf functions
and just use the one that comes with HP-UX?

Any help is appreciated.
