Hi Jackie,

I compiled dovecot-1.1.1 on AIX 5.3 with xlc, "IBM(R) XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V8.0 for AIX(R)", but I didn't see that error. Which version of xlc are you using?

In my case, I succeeded in making it after modification of two generated sources:

(1) src/plugins/quota/rquota.h I added `#include ' on the top. (2) src/plugins/quota/rquota_xdr.c I modified it like the following: #include "/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.h" ==> #include "rquota.h"

Regards,

Woonsan

We've been running Dovecot since December '07 with with no glitches. It's a great solid piece of software, thanks so much Timo!!

I thought I'd try out 1.1.1, so I brought it down and tried compiling it on AIX, using the IBM compiler, xlc. It's what I've used all along. The error I'm seeing on the make is:

    source='array.c' object='array.o'

libtool=no DEPDIR=.deps depmode=aix / bin/sh ../../depcomp xlc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..
-I/usr/local/openssl_0. 9.7e/include -g -qcpluscmt -c array.c "macros.h", line 149.68: 1506-211 (S) Parameter list must be empty, or consist o f one or more identifiers separated by commas. make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Looking at macros.h, the section it is erroring on is:

#ifdef CONTEXT_TYPE_SAFETY # define CONTEXT_CALLBACK(name, callback_type, callback, context, ...)
({(void)(1 ? 0 : callback(context));
name(__VA_ARGS__, (callback_type *)callback, context); }) #else # define CONTEXT_CALLBACK(name, callback_type, callback, context, ...)
name(__VA_ARGS__, (callback_type *)callback, context) #endif

The second define is the line the error occurs on. Has anyone seen this before. I'm assuming xlc can't handle the '...' parameter, and an hoping there is an option I can enable. Just thought I might see if anyone else has already solved this issue.

Thanks much! Jackie

Can you somehow enable C99 support for xlc? Is there something like a -c99 parameter?
