No need to be sorry: you saw a bug and reported it, which is what an 
Emacs user is supposed to do.  If this wasn't reported earlier, your 
report would have caused us to fix the bug.

Thanks!

building 21.2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.7, conflicting types for memmove

[Matthew Wilkins]

hi,

i am trying to build emacs 21.2 on sparc-sun-solaris2.7 and get
problems with both string.h and strings.h getting included.  

here are some details (i'll give you more if necessary)

to pick up my xpm, jpeg etc libraries i do:
   setenv LDFLAGS "-L/cs/local/lib -R/cs/local/lib" 
then:
   ../configure --prefix=/cs/local/generic/lib/pkg/emacs-21.2
   --exec-prefix=/cs/local/lib/pkg/emacs-21.2
   --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib
   --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-png
the tail end of the configure gives me:
   Configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.7'.
   
     Where should the build process find the source code?    /cs/local/src/gnu/emacs/emacs-21.2
     What operating system and machine description files should Emacs use?
           `s/sol2-5.h' and `m/sparc.h'
     What compiler should emacs be built with?               gcc  -g -O2 
     Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc?             yes
     Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers?    yes
     Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation?         no
     What window system should Emacs use?                    x11
     What toolkit should Emacs use?                          LUCID
     Where do we find X Windows header files?                /usr/openwin/include
     Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   /usr/openwin/lib
     Does Emacs use -lXaw3d?                                 no
     Does Emacs use -lXpm?                                   yes
     Does Emacs use -ljpeg?                                  yes
     Does Emacs use -ltiff?                                  yes
     Does Emacs use -lungif?                                 no
     Does Emacs use -lpng?                                   yes
     Does Emacs use X toolkit scroll bars?                   no
   
now i build:
   gmake

the error is:
   gmake[2]: Entering directory `/cs/local/src/gnu/emacs/emacs-21.2/obj-SunOS-5.7-sparc/lwlib'
   gcc -c   -I/usr/openwin/include  -I/usr/dt/include    -g -O2
                     -DEMACS_BITMAP_FILES -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Demacs -I. -I../src

   /usr/include/strings.h:26: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `memset'
   gmake[2]: *** [xlwmenu.o] Error 1

any help would be much appreciated

thx!
