Output of configure & make

All 1.8.4 versions of sudo (1.8.4, 1.8.4p1 and 1.8.4p2) fail to build under Tru64 Unix 4.0f. 1.8.3p2 and below all build cleanly.

Comment 1 Todd C. Miller 2012-03-01 09:49:09 MST

Your compiler does not support varargs macros (part of the C99 spec).  If you build with gcc it will compile properly.

Comment 2 Todd C. Miller 2012-03-01 10:31:15 MST

Sudo 1.8.4 compiles successfully on Tru64 5.1 with the native compiler.

Comment 3 Scott McAskill 2012-03-01 10:38:57 MST

Thanks, but unfortunately the system can't be upgraded from 4.0f. I suppose I could try gcc, but I'll have to find a version old enough that will build!

If you have the Digutal Unix Freeware CD that DEC shipped with Digital Uninx 4.0f there should be gcc packages on there.  If not, your best bet might be to build an old version like gcc-2.95.3.
