So, first off ... if HAVE_STDBOOL_H is being defined and we are including stdbool.h, then I guess I am wondering what the contents of stdbool.h are. Also, I don't know who is supposed to be adding the preprocessor symbol _BOOL. I think some time spent with the -E option (or whatever does the similar thing on Solaris) and looking at stdbool.h could puzzle this out.

We try to conform to POSIX; I did not realize memmem() was NOT POSIX, but to be fair this is the first I've heard of it and I didn't realize we used it. Looking where it is used, I understand why we use it. >I forget what we do in this situation? I guess our official answer is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In a perfect world, we'd offer function replacements for at least the non-POSIX functions we use via autoconf, and possibly for other functions. And I don't want to actively make Solaris not work ... but I'm PERSONALLY not interested in spending the time to make that work, especially since I haven't had access to any Solaris systems in a long time and Solaris has become a "challenging" system to develop for in recent years. I guess the answers are: change the code to use other functions or install Gnulib and use that (note: that might be a bit of a challenge since gnulib is really designed to be used as source, not a library you link against), or find some other library that has these functions and link against it. Or, really, write some trivial replacements for those functions because I think you could do them all as one-liners. Maybe not memmem(), but that one would only be a few lines. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
