Hi,

thank You for a reply, compiling with Solaris Studio 12.5 solved this case.

Hello, I don't have problems building 2.2.27 on Solaris 10 (using Sun Workshop compiler 5.11).

The configuration is the same as your. Maybe a compiler/version problem on your system ?

Regards, Martin

Hello,

I am tying to compile Dovecot 2.2.27 on Solaris 10, and I get this error: test-ioloop.c: In function test_ioloop_pending_io': test-ioloop.c:188: error: size of array type name' is negative

Last version that I have compiled was 2.2.24, version 2.2.25 failed
with error: In file included from guid.c:6: sha1.h:80: error: static or type qualifiers in abstract declarator

Is there anyone who can help me?

A bit offtopic, but I'm interested what's the point of using so old OS (support still exists though)?

Short version: It works.

Long version:

Solaris 10 is still supported; the production systems here are patched up to current as of last week. So while the base release is quite a few years old, the OS installed on these systems is considered current. When support and a current patch stream are no longer available, we will revisit our configuration.

For these production systems, there is currently no need for any capability or feature that exists only in "newer" OS releases. When that changes, we will revisit our configuration.

Until then, it's rock solid and does everything required of it. There are no problems to be addressed. At least here, we don't fix things that aren't broken.

Hello,

thank You, this solution worked too. But had to do same thing for those files:

test-http-client-errors.c:388 test-http-client-errors.c:484 test-http-client-errors.c:556 test-http-client-errors.c:636 test-http-server-errors.c:594 main.c:63 director.c:1445 director.c:1448 imap-client.c:253 director.c:1445 director.c:1448 mail-stats.c:56

Is this an old compiler issue or something else?

Change NULL to (void *)NULL in that line.

  Try

this: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/dd6043c05e32a8e8db1233ed711a2c74d1477...

This one fixes issue with old Solaris 10 compiler.
