Hello,

I trying to build dovecot 1.2rc2 on ancient Solaris 8 with gcc 2.95.3 and it fails with:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-settings -DSYSCONFDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/etc"\" -DPKG_RUNDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/var/run/dovecot"\" -DPKG_STATEDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/var/lib/dovecot"\" -DPKG_LIBEXECDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot"\" -DMODULEDIR=\""/opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot"\" -DSSLDIR=\""/usr/local/ssl/certs\"" -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/opt/kerberos-heimdal/include -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -c login-process.c In file included from ../../src/lib/lib.h:28, from common.h:6, from login-process.c:3: ../../src/lib/data-stack.h:73: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored In file included from ../../src/lib/lib.h:39, from common.h:6, from login-process.c:3: ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:44: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:54: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:55: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:56: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:57: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:58: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:59: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/strfuncs.h:77: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored In file included from master-settings.h:4, from common.h:7, from login-process.c:3: ../../src/lib/network.h:114: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/network.h:115: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/network.h:123: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored In file included from ../../src/lib/array.h:33, from login-process.c:4: ../../src/lib/buffer.h:36: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/buffer.h:88: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/buffer.h:106: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored In file included from login-process.c:4: ../../src/lib/array.h:96: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/array.h:161: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/array.h:222: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/array.h:229: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored In file included from login-process.c:6: ../../src/lib/hash.h:24: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/hash.h:35: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/hash.h:54: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored ../../src/lib/hash.h:55: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored In file included from login-process.c:8: ../../src/lib/ostream.h:72: warning: pure' attribute directive ignored login-process.c:52: field data' has incomplete type *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target login-process.o' Current working directory /opt/src/dovecot-1.2.rc2/src/master *** Error code 1

configure looks like this: CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/opt/kerberos-heimdal/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/opt/kerberos-heimdal/lib -R/opt/kerberos-heimdal/lib' ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --enable-ssl --with-ssldir=/usr/local/ssl/certs --with-ssl=openssl --without-passwd-file --with-passwd --with-shadow --without-bsdauth --without-static-userdb --without-prefetch-userdb --without-checkpassword --with-gssapi=yes --without-pgsql --without-sql --without-ldap --without-vpopmail --without-sia

The build goes fine with gcc 3.2.2.

Dovecot 1.1 builds fine with 2.95.3. Are there any requirements for GCC version?
