Compilging applications for GNOME 1.2.0 fails

["Himanshu J. Gohel" <gohel csee usf edu>]

Hi,

I've installed the GNOME 1.2.0 packages made available at
http://freeware.sgi.com from the August 2000 package.

Since then I'm having difficulties compiling any GNOME applications
from source.  The error I'm getting is:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/freeware/include -DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H
-I/usr/freeware/lib32/gnome-libs/include
-I/usr/freeware/lib32/glib/include -I/usr/freeware/include
-DGNOMELOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\"
-I/usr/freeware/lib32/glib/include -I/usr/freeware/include -g -O2
-I/usr/freeware/include -I/usr/freeware/share/include -Wall -Wunused -c 
-DPIC calendar-conduit.c -o .libs/calendar-conduit.lo

                 from /usr/freeware/include/libgnome/libgnome.h:34,
                 from /usr/freeware/include/gnome.h:16,
                 from calendar-conduit.c:4:
/usr/include/stdio.h:235: conflicting types for `snprintf'
/usr/freeware/lib32/gnome-libs/include/gnomesupport.h:36: previous
declaration of `snprintf'
/usr/include/stdio.h:244: conflicting types for `vsnprintf'
/usr/freeware/lib32/gnome-libs/include/gnomesupport.h:34: previous
declaration of `vsnprintf'

This is for the PIM 1.2.0 package.  A similar error about conflicting
types occurs for other packages as well.  The problem seems to be
/usr/freeware/lib32/gnome-libs/include/gnomesupport.h which defines
snprintf() and vsnprintf() incorrectly for SGI machines.

How should I go about fixing that?   Thanks.
