When trying to install python2.3 on either stable or current the curses module doesn't build. I get the following compiler complaints:
STABLE (line numbers in brackets are from CURRENT) /usr/include/ncurses.h:236(289): conflicting types for `wchar_t' /usr/include/stdlib.h:58(57): previous declaration of `wchar_t' /usr/include/ncurses.h:239(292): conflicting types for `wint_t' /usr/include/wchar.h:89(96): previous declaration of `wint_t' Can somebody explain what the differrence between_WCHAR_T and _BSD_WCHAR_T is? I appended relevant parts of these header files from STABLE. Simply deleting lines 234-240 of /usr/include/ncurses.h works (The curses module builds without problems.) However I would much rather learn the reason for the various definitions of wchar_t stlib.h l.56-61: =============== #ifndef __cplusplus #ifdef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ typedef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ wchar_t; #undef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ #endif #endif wchar.h l.77-91: =============== #ifdef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ typedef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ wchar_t; #undef _BSD_WCHAR_T_ #endif #endif #ifdef _BSD_MBSTATE_T_ typedef _BSD_MBSTATE_T_ mbstate_t; #undef _BSD_MBSTATE_T_ #endif #ifdef _BSD_WINT_T_ typedef _BSD_WINT_T_ wint_t; #undef _BSD_WINT_T_ #endif ncurses.h l.234-240: =================== #ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED #ifndef _WCHAR_T typedef unsigned long wchar_t; #endif /* _WCHAR_T */ #ifndef _WINT_T typedef long int wint_t; #endif /* _WINT_T */ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
