Ok, I put your code into the current SVN revision (1656). Unfortunately I cannot try it due to the lack of a Sun. Maybe you can try and tell me if it's working.

Yes indeed. I fixed that in SVN revision 1655. I upgraded this server so you can try again if it works. |
Just tried it, it's fixed

Actually, what I will be delivering is a new Makefile with conditional compile statements plus the C code module since the example that I provided need some cleaning. Since I don't have a Linux system on which to test the conditional compile completely I would need you to do that. Sound ok?

Sure. I put already the conditional compiling into the current Makefile, so just try it. I tested the Linux part, which is ok. If you could test the Solaris part, that would be great. |

Ok, I see what you did. I took a different route since I was not sure how the gnu linker would handle the fact that there would be two declarations of the forkpty() function when compiled and linked under Linux. Instead, I created a separate forkpty.c module and compiled it separately. Then, if "solaris", link it in. Otherwise, use library "util" which already has forkpty().
So, since it seems to work under Linux, any idea which function is being used? |

No, there are no two forkpty() function, due to the
#ifdef OS_SOLARIS
forkpty(...)
{
...
}
#endif
conditional compiling. So if I compile under Linux, the variable OS_SOLARIS is not defined, and therefore the special forkpty does not get compiled. Instead the one from the library is taken, since under Linux I use the -libutil switch. Under Solaris, there is no -libutil, but the OS_SOLARIS gets set, and therefore we have the code right inside elogd.c |
