Thread: Postgre 7.1.3 and Solaris Install Problems

I attempt to build postgre 7.1.3 with the default options. I get the
following output:

$: ./configure

...

Checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not
determine argument types

Configure log attached

Many thanks

Andrew

What version of Solaris is this?  How is accept() actually declared
in your /usr/include/sys/socket.h?

Please upgrade to 7.2.  I think we've fixed a problem related to that.

If it still doesn't work, try to find out what the prototype of accept()
is.  Look into the header file sys/socket.h.

I'm using Solaris 5.7 on an ultra 5.

I've attempted to build postgre 7.2 and I still get the same message.

accept is decalred as:

#ifdef    __STDC__
extern int accept(int, struct sockaddr *, Psocklen_t);
extern int bind(int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t);
extern int connect(int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t);
extern int getpeername(int, struct sockaddr *, Psocklen_t);
extern int getsockname(int, struct sockaddr *, Psocklen_t);
extern int getsockopt(int, int, int, void *, Psocklen_t);
extern int listen(int, int);    /* XXX - fixme???  where do I go */
extern int socketpair(int, int, int, int *);
extern ssize_t recv(int, void *, size_t, int);
extern ssize_t recvfrom(int, void *, size_t, int, struct sockaddr *,
    Psocklen_t);
extern ssize_t recvmsg(int, struct msghdr *, int);
extern ssize_t send(int, const void *, size_t, int);
extern ssize_t sendmsg(int, const struct msghdr *, int);
extern ssize_t sendto(int, const void *, size_t, int, const struct sockaddr
*,
    socklen_t);
extern int setsockopt(int, int, int, const void *, socklen_t);
extern int shutdown(int, int);
extern int socket(int, int, int);
#else    /* __STDC__ */
extern int accept();
extern int bind();
extern int connect();
extern int getpeername();
extern int getsockname();
extern int getsockopt();
extern int listen();
extern int recv();
extern int recvfrom();
extern int send();
extern int sendto();
extern int setsockopt();
extern int socket();
extern int recvmsg();
extern int sendmsg();
extern int shutdown();
extern int socketpair();
#endif    /* __STDC__ */

Many thanks,

Andrew

Hi all,

An old issue (14 mar 2002).

Got the error now on Solaris 9 (Checking types of arguments for accept()...
configure: error: could not > determine argument types)

Did anyone solve this yet ?

Regards,

Laurens
