Description Bob T. 2009-10-31 17:28:34 UTC

Description of problem:

pdftex won't build on Fedora 11 with glibc-2.10.1-5 because stdio.h in the latter declares a non-standard function getline, which is also defined in the pdftex sources.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.10.1-5

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. build.sh in pdftex
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

In file included from tangleboot.c:94:
tangleboot.h:34: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
/usr/include/stdio.h:653: note: previous declaration of 'getline' was here
tangleboot.c:2175: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
/usr/include/stdio.h:653: note: previous declaration of 'getline' was here




Expected results:  When the declaration of getline iin stfio.h is commented out, pdftex builds as usual.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2009-11-01 23:55:53 UTC

getline is a standard POSIX 2008 function, and glibc headers by default offer POSIX 2008 namespace.  See
info libc 'Feature Test Macros'
for details.  You should just either fix pdftex to use a different name, not reserved by POSIX 2008, or use a namespace macro that doesn't provide POSIX 2008 stuff.
