Re: Test configure

# It didn't! The same happened as before. Now it wanted yacc on the second
# compile. But I got round this by calling configure with the following
# small executable, 'do-conf', on a clean 'tar xvf':
#
# CC="gcc -melf -O2 -g" CFLAGS="-DMAXPATHLEN=1024" \
# YACC="bison -d" LDFLAGS="-L/lib \
# -L/usr/lib -lprot -lsocket -ltinfo -lm -lx" ./configure
#
# Then it worked, linked mail.o, - your configure code's probably o.k.,
# my experience was possibly system-specific. I've had similar things
# happen before, witness the -DMAXPATHLEN above and all the strange
# libraries that the SCO link kit/egcs sometimes want, but not always.

:( You shouldn't have to do this to get it to run on SCO Open Server 5.0.5 with egcs 1.1.2. Guess there's still more to do to get configure to work right on that system.

Is MAXPATHLEN in any of the include files on your system ?

Thanks for the help Tony.
