findutils-4.2.0: small compiling problem under AIX 4.3

[Jens Schleusener]

Hello,

I just tried to compile findutils version 4.2.0 under AIX 4.3 (using gcc 
2.95.3 and GNU make 3.80) and found two problems:

1) compile error:

 source='parser.c' object='parser.o' libtool=no \
 depfile='.deps/parser.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/parser.TPo' \
 depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../depcomp \
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../gnulib/lib -I../lib -I../gnulib/lib
  -I../intl -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/contrib/share/locale\"
  -g -O2 -c `test -f 'parser.c' || echo './'`parser.c
 parser.c: In function `insert_time':
 parser.c:1650: parse error before `val'
 parser.c:1652: `val' undeclared (

As a "terrible" workaround I removed in ./find/parser.c the lines
1649-1659 ("Check for possibility of an overflow").

2) compile (configure ?) error:

 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../gnulib/lib -I../lib -I../gnulib/lib
  -I../intl -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/contrib/share/locale\"
  -g -O2 -c `test -f 'pred.c' || echo './'`pred.c
 pred.c: In function `pred_iname':
 pred.c:788: `FNM_CASEFOLD' undeclared (first use in this function)
 pred.c:788: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
 pred.c:788: for each function it appears in.)
 pred.c: In function `pred_ipath':
 pred.c:817: `FNM_CASEFOLD' undeclared (first use in this function)
 pred.c: In function `insert_lname':
 pred.c:860: `FNM_CASEFOLD' undeclared (first use in this function)
 gnumake[3]: *** [pred.o] Error 1

While comparing the according output of the "configure"-script of the 
older findutils version 4.1.20:

 Making all in lib
 gnumake[4]: Entering directory
 `/.../dce.dlr.de/fs/.rw/usr/sw/freesoft/src/findutils-4.1.20/gnulib/lib'
 gnumake  all-am
 gnumake[5]: Entering directory `/.../dce.dlr.de/fs/.rw/usr/sw/freesoft/src/
    findutils-4.1.20/gnulib/lib'
 cp ./alloca_.h alloca.h
 cp ./fnmatch_.h fnmatch.h

with that of the current findutils 4.2.0:

 Making all in lib
 gnumake[4]: Entering directory `/.../dce.dlr.de/fs/.rw/usr/sw/freesoft/src/
    findutils-4.2.0/gnulib/lib'
 cp ./alloca_.h alloca.h-t
 mv alloca.h-t alloca.h
 sed -e 's/@''HAVE__BOOL''@/0/g' < ./stdbool_.h > stdbool.h-t
 mv stdbool.h-t stdbool.h
 gnumake  all-am

I found a missing "cp ./fnmatch_.h fnmatch.h". After doing that manually 
in findutils-4.2.0/gnulib/lib the current findutils version compiles 
well.

Sorry, I am not a C expert.

Jens
