Please do not use MAXPATHLEN, it is a arbitrary limit, and is not defined on GNU. Currently this makes libjava (gcc 4.0.0) unbuildable on GNU since [gcc]/libjava/gnu/java/nio/channels/natFileChannelImpl.cc assumes that MAXPATHLEN is defined. Please do not use these kind of limits in GNU programs.
Not having MAXPATHLEN is perfectly compliant with POSIX, same goes for MAXHOSTNAMELEN, PATH_MAX etc. -- Summary: MAXPATHLEN usage in [gcc]/libjava/gnu/java/nio/channels/natFileChannelImpl.c c Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: java AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ams at gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,java-prs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC build triplet: i686-pc-gnu0.3 GCC host triplet: i686-pc-gnu0.3 GCC target triplet: i686-pc-gnu0.3 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21821
