[Matplotlib-users] Compilation glitches under SunOS

[Jett L. <jet...@gm...>]

Hi,

using matplotlib-0.87.4

uname -a == "SunOS maples 5.9 Generic_112233-07 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R"

gcc --version == "2.95.3" (have no control over this)

python -V == "Python 2.4.3" (in $HOME/local/bin)

I get some errors during "python setup.py build" (with all GUIs disabled
in setup.py, but BUILD_IMAGE=1 and BUILD_AGG=1):

> gcc: src/mplutils.cpp
> src/mplutils.cpp: In method `Printf::Printf(const char *, ...)':
> src/mplutils.cpp:17: implicit declaration of function `int vsprintf(...)'
> src/mplutils.cpp: In method `Printf::Printf(const char *, ...)':

When I fix this (by #include <cstdio>) it gets more errors about
redefining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS:

Please help, I've already written code using matplotlib under windows
and don't want to rewrite it for the move to Solaris.

Thank you,
Jett

P.S. while Windows version works fine, compiling under cygwin yields
problems like being unable to import the _agg DLL (and twiddling
permissions doesn't help) - ideas?
