Let me start by saying 6.4 is totally unsupported, but you are most likely aware of that. :-) That said, I don't think 6.4 already had complete C99 support, so this is probably why the configure script fails. You can see the script itself gives you a few hints for a workaround. Since 6.4 is already using a gcc version older than 4.3, and the "fix your include files" hint is only valid for glibc, the best option is to make sure -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 is *not* used. For example, if you are building this manually, try setting ac_cv_prog_cc_c99=no in configure's environment, like so: ac_cv_prog_cc_c99=no ./configure If you are building this from the port, try adding a line: CONFIGURE_ENV+= ac_cv_prog_cc_c99=no in the port's Makefile. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
