Subject: bug#7178: 24.0.50; Emacs 24 doesn't build on Solaris 10
Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 22:04:28 +0200

When I tried to build Emacs bazaar trunk on Solaris 10 to check if
bug#7163 still occurs on trunk, I ran into two issues:

* lisp/Makefile.in (compile-clean) uses $() which the Solaris 10 /bin/sh
  doesn't understand.  This can easily be avoided by using `` instead.

* src/sysdep.c doesn't compile: 

"/usr/include/term.h", line 1034: syntax error before or at: bool

  <term.h> uses bool without providing bool.  <stdbool.h> cannot be
  included since it only works in C99 mode.  The documented solution
  (e.g. on the curs_terminfo(3CURSES) manpage) is to include <curses.h>
  before term.h.  The patch below hardcodes this, but this is most
  likely not the appropriate solution.  Some kind of autoconf magic is
  probably needed to check if <term.h> can be compiled on its own.

	lisp:
	* Makefile.in (compile-clean): Use `` instead of $().
