[Gaim-devel] Conflicting types for 'poll' (Solaris 5.9)

[Bjoern V. <bj...@cs...>]

Hello!

I tried to compile gaim-1.1.2 for Solaris 5.9. I got the following error
message in gaim/src/protocols/msn:

  if /bin/bash ../../../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CC gcc
  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I. -I../../..  -I../../../src
  -I/home/pub/lib/gtk26/include/glib-2.0

  -threads -Wall -g3 -MT httpconn.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/httpconn.Tpo" -c
  -o httpconn.lo httpconn.c; \
  then mv -f ".deps/httpconn.Tpo" ".deps/httpconn.Plo"; else rm -f
  ".deps/httpconn.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
  httpconn.c:170: error: conflicting types for 'poll'

  httpconn.c:170: error: conflicting types for 'poll'
  /usr/include/sys/poll.h:124: error: previous declaration of 'poll' was

  *** Error code 1

As far as I can see, the include files have a dependency to
/usr/include/sys/poll.h. There and in httpconn.c are two functions named
poll. 

As a temporary workaround, I renamed poll() in httpconn.c.
