RE: alphasort on HP-NonStop

[Joachim Schmitz]

Thanks.
I'll report this as a bug to HP NonStop development. Last change on the lib was 
that scandir() and scandir64() had been added, looks like alphasort() got added 
too, but not externalized.

Bye, Jojo

Yes, when a function is not documented, it's most reliable to not use it.

Or set the variable ac_cv_func_alphasort to no in your environment or in a 
local config.site file before running configure.
