Description Joe Orton 2001-04-27 14:33:34 UTC

RPM assumes basename() in libc is the GNU-style basename(). Single Unix
allows basename() to be argument-modifying and other such rubbish.

This breaks build/parsePrep.c on HP-UX 10, and probably elsewhere (some
SunOS's have an argument-modifying basename() too I think).

Easy fix: unconditionally #include "misc/basename.c" in stubs.c.

Sorry, scratch the easy fix, that breaks the build on Tru64.

Proper fix coming up...

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2001-05-06 14:06:53 UTC

Still looking for the "proper fix" ...

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2002-06-21 19:46:29 UTC

Closed for lack of input.
