Although I was quite active with some of its modules and its portability (particularly to Solaris) last summer, I haven't been able to do much since. I have just tried the latest CVS (which seems close to your 0.75) and it is looking much improved, from the perspective of Solaris compilation. Thanks. I have just placed three minor patches on sourceforge. 1. Address a long-standing niggle that things such as "_POSIX_SOURCE" ought to be specific opt-in, rather than default. (It is nice to see the structure in place that allowed me to produce this clean, small patch.) 2. modules/pam_access/pam_access.c : declares "gethostname()". Doing this is decidedly unclean and non-portable, and causes compilation errors from incompatible type declarations. My patch "#ifdef"s around this (although perhaps not optimally) so that it defaults off. It makes use of the next patch... 3. "_pam_aconf.h.in": "configure.in" and "configure" carefully detect certain functionality, but "_pam_aconf.h.in" didn't have the templates to hold this information. This patch begins to address that. With all three patches, feel free to adjust the detail. > * fixes for static library builds and also the examples when linked > with the debugging build of the libraries.
