[screen-devel] RE: screen history size

[Przyjazny, Martin]

By the way, there are three things I had to do to get it to compile on
Solaris 9 (5.9 Generic_112233-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4):

1.  in config.h, #define _XPG_4_2

Because of this in /usr/include/sys/socket.h:
#if defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_KERNEL)
        void            *msg_control;           /* ancillary data */
        socklen_t       msg_controllen;         /* ancillary data buffer len
*/
        int             msg_flags;              /* flags on received message
*/

2.  I had to undef the SETENV stuff in config.h and #define NEEDPUTENV - I'm
not sure why autogen thought this system had setenv.  I grepped through the
whole /usr/include tree and didn't find setenv anywhere.

3.  No CMSG_LEN and CMSG_SPACE defined in socket.o, so I had to define them
(I just did it in socket.c).. I used this patch:

Thanks,

That was an unintentional change. Fixed in 4fb0d4f.

This is fixed in a228411. Thanks very much for the reports.

Cheers.
