Hi,

This is a common problem with Solaris 9, perhaps somebody knows a
workaround:

`cat CCTYPE` -c `cat CFLAGS` mix.c
mix.c: In function `mix_rename':
mix.c:539: error: `alphasort' undeclared (first use in this function)

I see that scandir() is picked up from src/osdep/unix/scandir.c; can't
find alphasort()... it's probably faster to make it than to search for
it.

Thanks.

Never mind, I defined the prototype in os_solo.h and the build
completed with no problems.

I'm using gcc, and "make gso".

Not quite sure how you managed that. From the little digging I've
done, it appears that the scandir function etc was introduced
in the C library on Solaris10. It isn't available in the C library
on Solaris9 and earlier.

Where, on Solaris9, are you finding the scandir function?

The imap-2006a development snapshot defines alphasort (both prototype and
function) on Solaris.

It's not on Solaris 9, it is in imap-2006 source:

imap-2206/src/osdep/unix/scandir.c

When I want scandir and alphasort on Solaris 9 I use these compiler
command line options:

-I/usr/ucbinclude -L/usr/ucblib -lucb -Wl,-R/usr/ucblib
