[Dovecot] Problem Compiling 1.1.1 on AIX

[Woonsan Ko]

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 <rpc/rpc.h>' 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
