[New-bugs-announce] [issue11102] configure doesn't find "major()" on HP-UX v11.31

[Oren Held]

New submission from Oren Held <oren at held.org.il>:

The effect eventually is that on HP-UX v3 there are no os.major() and os.minor() functions.

I tried to dig deeper to find out what's wrong, and it seems that 'configure' script fails on 'major' check and thus disables the 'major' feature:

'configure' finds well that /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h has makedev(), major(), minor() definitions (MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS==1).

The problem is that including sys/sysmacros.h is not enough, it depends (but doesn't #include) sys/types.h for the definition of dev_t (needed by makedev() macro).


See attached config.log for configure's behavior.
