Re: Fwd: [ cplusplus-Bugs-657258 ] Implicit declaration of snprintf

[Ari Johnson]

snprintf is a terribly unportable function.  I've found that at least
Solaris and Irix, each in relatively recent versions, do not include it.
One solution is to include a custom snprintf with the project, and compile
it in if configure can't find snprintf.  GtkYahoo should still come with
an snprintf.c that, I believe, is freely redistributable.  But make sure
it only gets compiled in if it is needed, since it tends to break
compatibility with systems that DO have snprintf.
