mountpoint.c:264:33: error: implicit declaration of function ‘makedev’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
Hello,
I am trying to build dovecot-2.4.2 on Solaris 11.4 with gcc 14.2 and getting the following error:
CC module-dir.lo CC mountpoint.lo mountpoint.c: In function ‘mountpoint_iter_next’: mountpoint.c:264:33: error: implicit declaration of function ‘makedev’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 264 | iter->mnt.dev = makedev(ent.ext.mnt_major, ent.ext.mnt_minor); | ^~~~~~~ *** Error code 1 The following command caused the error: echo " CC " mountpoint.lo;/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -std=gnu11 -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -mfunction-return=keep -mindirect-branch=keep -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -MT mountpoint.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/mountpoint.Tpo -c -o mountpoint.lo mountpoint.c make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `mountpoint.lo' Current working directory /var/tmp/dovecot-2.4.0/src/lib *** Error code 1
I have been using dovecot for a long time and haven't seen this before. I just checked and rebuilt dovecot-2.3.21 and had no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

Can you see if diff --git a/src/lib/mountpoint.c b/src/lib/mountpoint.c index 3d2150ec6e..816d0d6f54 100644 --- a/src/lib/mountpoint.c +++ b/src/lib/mountpoint.c @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ # include <stdio.h> # include <sys/mnttab.h> /* Solaris */ # include <sys/mntent.h> +# include <sys/mkdev.h> # define MOUNTPOINT_SOLARIS #else # define MOUNTPOINT_UNKNOWN helps?

Thanks, that worked. There are 2 other files which use "makedev" which give the same error: src/imap-hibernate/imap-hibernate-client.c: state_r->peer_dev = makedev(peer_dev_major, peer_dev_minor); src/imap/imap-master-client.c: makedev(peer_dev_major, peer_dev_minor); So the "#include <sys/mkdev.h>" has to be added to them as well. Question, which Definition to use so only added with SOLARIS? I am test the installation now to see if it all works on Solaris 11.4 Thanks, Andrew On 1/16/2026 11:38 AM, Aki Tuomi wrote: Can you see if diff --git a/src/lib/mountpoint.c b/src/lib/mountpoint.c index 3d2150ec6e..816d0d6f54 100644 --- a/src/lib/mountpoint.c +++ b/src/lib/mountpoint.c @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ # include <stdio.h> # include <sys/mnttab.h> /* Solaris */ # include <sys/mntent.h> +# include <sys/mkdev.h> # define MOUNTPOINT_SOLARIS #else # define MOUNTPOINT_UNKNOWN helps?
