Sam, thanks for your continuing help with this Courier to AIX port. How do I apply this suggestion:

Do I change line 23 from addr_len=sizeof(addr); to addr_len=socklen_t?

oops - that doesn't work:

cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I /usr/local/include -g -c testprog.c "testprog.c", line 23.18: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error. "testprog.c", line 26.40: 1506-280 (W) Function argument assignment between types "unsigned long*" and "int*" is not allowed. make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

another warning:

a monster sized Perl warning:

Update on class fstream: IBM says they support is_open, but in a non .h include file. (#include fstream?) I will try to get them to clarify this.

I still don't understand how -DHAVE_STRINGS_H is determined. I have been looking through the configure script and config.log in the various subdirectories, looking for "STRINGS" and "AIX", but I can't see anything that seems relevant.

more stray C++ comments:

/courier/unicode/gb2312.c has some (did I tell you this one already?)

/courier/libs/rw.h // - in line 58

/courier/libs/comsubmitclient.c line 182.1 line 333.1

/courier/libs/mybuf.h line 40

Thanks, Daniel
