warnings when running autoreconf -i: Header Present But Cannot Be Compiled #6

Closed berendt closed 11 years ago

berendt commented 11 years ago

Probably I have missed to install some necessary packages on SLES11 SP3 (JeOS). But I think the WARNING should be handled like described here: http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html.

That's just an example WARNING. There are a lot of more warnings of the same type on my testing system.

checking arpa/inet.h presence... yes

Shuld be fixed by commit 634d7957d22a79773afe114e47606a40026bbe1e Author: Andreas Ericsson ae@op5.se Date: Wed Nov 27 14:50:44 2013 +0100

autotools junk: Stop using (and checking for) arpa/inet.h

We don't actually need it, and it appears to break the autotools
chain on SLES 11 SP3. Since we only use it in one of the library
test-files, we just remove it and stop checking for it.

@ageric I can take a look at this in the next couple of days.

atj: That'd be awesome. I don't see the same issue on my system, and the docs at the provided link don't really make sense to me. ctype.h has no prerequisite headers, and neither has malloc.h (which really shouldn't be in that list at all).

berendt: Have you got all the necessary dev tools installed on the machine you're trying this? As it's SLES, I imagine the packages will be called something like "kernel-headers" and "glibc-devel" or some such.

@berendt: I'm unable to reproduce this on an openSUSE 11.4 VM. Have a look at https://gist.github.com/atj/7699496.
