[OpenIndiana-discuss] A patch for TeXLive

[Apostolos Syropoulos]

Hello,
I am trying to comlile thr TeXLive sourcetree and a certain point compilationstops because the source code definesa struct that is called label_t. Nowthere is a struct definition in machtypes.h:>>
>>             30 #if (!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) &&
>>         !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) || \
>>             31  defined(__EXTENSIONS__)
>>             32
>>             33 typedef  struct  _label_t { long val[2]; } label_t;
>>             34
>>             35 #endif /* !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE)...
I proposed the following patch:
 #ifdef __sun
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE#endif

but someone objected that

The question is: What do you suggest to do?
Best wishes for the new year
