emacs 21.2 compile problems on Solaris 8

emacs 21.2 compile problems on Solaris 8

[Carl B. Constantine]

I'm trying to compile Emacs 21.1 for Solaris 8, both Intel versions and
Sparc versions.

On the Sparc, I'm using gcc 2.95.3. On the x86, I'm using gcc 3.1.1.

In both cases I get this same error:

gcc -c   -I/public/include -I/usr/dt/include   -g -O2 -DEMACS_BITMAP_FILES -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Demacs -I. -I../src -I/sw/pgmstore/admpubsw/emacs/emacs-21.2/lwlib -I/sw/pgmstore/admpubsw/emacs/emacs-21.2/lwlib/../src xlwmenu.c

                 from xlwmenu.c:32:
/usr/include/strings.h:25: conflicting types for `memmove'
/usr/include/iso/string_iso.h:62: previous declaration of `memmove'

make[1]: *** [really-lwlib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sw/pgmstore/admpubsw/emacs/emacs-21.2/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2

(The /public/include is an extra include dir for the image libraries -
tiff, jpeg, png, xpm).

I've tried with and without gnu binutils. I've tried with and without
specifying the image libraries (without, emacs doesn't include them in
the configure because they are in a different location for our needs)
but in every case, I get this same error.

Looking at the typescript (generated by the script command) I don't
recall having this problem with Emacs 21.1 on the sparc machine using
gcc 2.95.3.

Anyone have ideas as to what is causing this and how I can fix it?

This question was asked and answered here just a few days ago, "emacs on
solaris 9", Oct 26.

http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&frame=right&th=edc68f3c08bcbbcc

I had the same problem and the proposed fix worked for me.


Hope this helps

Thank you muchly. This worked for me also. I really hope this is fixed
in the next version so we don't have to patch.

Thanks for the pointer, I greatly appreciated it.

It is.
