Category: Build
Status: Open

Priority: 5
Summary: Python 1.6b1 build failure on Solaris (with patch)

Details: Python 1.6b1 fails to build on Solaris due to Python's
config.h #define'ing socklen_t to be int.  socklen_t is a symbol many platforms' standard include files have a typedef for.

On Solaris, this results in the true typedef for socklen_t in sys/socket.h (one of the following):

typedef size_t          socklen_t;
typedef uint32_t        socklen_t;

being transformed into gibberish that will not compile.

Removing the offending socklen_t #define from config.h allows 1.6b1 to build on Solaris.
