I am trying to build emacs on solaris: SunOS gar10026 5.8 Generic_108528-20 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80 And I am getting the following error when I try to run make in src after having run configure from the base dir: In file included from /usr/include/X11/Xos.h:81, from xfaces.c:60: /usr/include/strings.h:25: conflicting types for `memmove' /usr/include/iso/string_iso.h:62: previous declaration of `memmove' /usr/include/strings.h:26: parse error before `0' /usr/include/strings.h:26: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `memset' *** Error code 1 I noticed that this was a known bug by searching the archives but couldn't find any resolution... I am trying to build emacs 20.7. Any help appreciated.
