RE: [xml] nanohttp.c:868: `h_errno' undeclared

["Fricault, Mark" <mark fricault gilbarco com>]

Sorry to say, but I don't know how to answer your question reguarding the
'OS dependant platform define', as none of the 5 unix guru's here seems to
understand exactly what you're looking for.  If you can tell me where I
might find this information, I'll pass it back to you.

I can tell you that our OS is "SCO Openserver 5.0.06" (and this may be the
answer you're looking for).

I can also tell you, that I found the #define h_errno in the
/usr/include/resolv.h file (thanks for pointing me in that direction), *not*
in the netdb.h file.  And the resolv.h file is only included if SUPPORT_IP6
has been defined (which it doesn't appear to be).

I'm sure this is the wrong way to fix this, and still remain cross-platform
compliant, but whenever the netdb.h file is included, I also include the
resolv.h file.  Now the make seems to work; at lease it complete without
errors.

  Crap, I was hoping that 

    #if defined(HAVE_NETDB_H) && defined(HOST_NOT_FOUND)

would have avoided insane compilers to go there. 
  See bug #74503
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74503

 Seriously, are you trying this on an HP box ?

I don't know any way to detect this case. If netdb.h is present and
HOST_NOT_FOUND is defined why on earth h_errno is not defined ???

 Please feed a bug report to whoever maintain your platform, and
please give me an OS dependant platform define that I can use to avoid
referencing h_errno ,

Daniel
