Re: Bug on NetBSD : redefinition of wint_t

[Akim Demaille]

Hi Jim, Hi Paul,

What do you think about this?  I'm a bit afraid to apply this patch as
it might break other systems.  Maybe that's something we should handle
at configure.in's level, probably checking whether we can include
stddef and wchar together.

No idea...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I send this patch, because on NetBSD system, there are a problem between
`stddef.h' and `wchar.h' which are included in `lib/quotearg.c'. Both
define the `wint_t' type with different declarations.
This is the best way that I've found to solve this problem.
