Fwd: Problem compiling gnutls 2.12.7 on Solaris 9

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello Niels,
 nettle-stdint.h conflicts with gnulib's stdint.h on solaris. Is there
any real reason for nettle to define the uint_t types in the exported
API? Even if it wasn't for gnulib I would expect most applications
to define those types if not available, thus a conflict would anyway occur.

Hi,

I am trying to compile gnutls 2.12.7 with libnettle 2.1 on Solaris 9 Sparc with
Sun Studio 12 and get the following error:

cc: acomp failed for pk.c

It looks like a gnulib incompatibility.


Best regards
