If memory serves, you need to add the line
#include <sys/socket.h> to stream .c

Whoops. That's what I get for answering this stuff from memory.
Try using sys/select.h.

Possibly related issue --- another guy is having compilation problems
on NeXT, again (if I recall right) related to the select() goop.

This came into the apache-bugs mailbox on hyperreal.

rst

(We also have an offer of A/UX support, and someone who noticed that
set_group_privs() can try to write the error_log at a time when it
hasn't been opened yet).

Actually, this should be defined in <sys/types.h> which is also
included in this file. Is it possible that your C preprocessor
is not defining the level of POSIX or ANSI compliance necessary
to get this definition? I have no access to AIX, but know that
this is the case with HPsUX and several others I have encountered.

can you remind me where that is please.

Under AIX fd_set is defined in sys/select.h

Unfortunately not. It's already there.

- chris@minsk.docs.uu.se

The NeXT problems are:
1. Does not have FD_CLOEXEC defined (for httpd.c). Does NeXT not support
close-on-exec at all, or is the #define different or hidden?

2. Does not have mode_t. (third argument to open() in http_log.c)

I checked all machines I have access to, and under
Solaris 2, OSF/1, Linux, BSD/386, open is defined as

int open(const char *path, int flags, mode_t mode)

whereas under SunOS 4, open is defined as

int open(path, flags[ , mode ] )
char *path;
int flags;
int mode;

Does NeXT fall into the second catagory?

[I've uploaded B81-AIX-compile.txt to fix the AIX problem.]
