[htdig-dev] Re: select() problem on UX 10.20

[Lachlan A. <lh...@us...>]

Good work.  It looks like you're making good progress.  I'll patch the=20
configure script soon.  It will be good to see the error messages=20
from  make.

The reason the compiler complains the first time is that  select  is=20
declared in  limits.h,  which  2.57  includes, but  2.13  doesn't. =20
(The C program is so simple that it doesn't matter what type  select=20
is declared as, as long as it hasn't been declared with a conflicting=20
type in one of the headers.  The aim is to make the program not=20
depend on any headers which may be absent, but in this case it=20
backfires...)

Cheers,
Lachlan
