[Zutils-bug] Some issues on Solaris (patches referenced)

[Dagobert Michelsen]

Hi,

I compiled zutils 0.8 for Solaris and some patches are needed which you may
want to adopt / adjust for proper detection. The patches are available from
  
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/zutils/trunk/files?rev=11664
in GIT patch format:


* 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/zutils/trunk/files/0001-Use-inttypes.h-instead-of-stdint.h-and-add-signal.h.patch

On Solaris there is no stdint.h, but inttypes.h. Additionally, signal.h is 
needed
in some files. As you are not using autoconf I unfortunately cannot send you a 
general
patch.


* 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/zutils/trunk/files/0002-Use-correct-path-on-testsuite.patch

On Solaris only /usr/ucb/echo understands -n, /usr/bin/echo does not
(the /opt/csw part can be ignored for a general patch).


* 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/zutils/trunk/files/0003-Use-Zutils-instead-of-zutils.patch

The renaming of the utilities to an uppercase "Z" because of the gzip
collision is disturbing and I would appreciate a solution between you and
the gzip maintainer.


* 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/zutils/trunk/files/0004-Fix-ambinguity-to-str.insert.patch

The call can be applied to two function signatures and should be made unique:
"zcat.cc", line 48: Error: Overloading ambiguity between 
"std::string::insert(char*, unsigned, char)" and "std::string::insert(unsigned, 
unsigned, char)".



Best regards
