Re: gnome-libs build fails

[Lyndon Drake <lyndon stat auckland ac nz>]

Hi,

I've worked out what the problem is - lines like these:

/* needed for sigaction under 'gcc -ansi -pedantic' on GNU/Linux */
#ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE
#define _POSIX_SOURCE 1
#endif

Unfortunately, while it may indeed be necesary to prevent warnings on Linux,
it doesn't even build on my FreeBSD box.  Surely something like this should be
done with autoconf, rather that hard coded #defines.

The code occurs at:

 * gnome-libs/libgnorba/goad.c, line 9
 * gnome-libs/zvt/subshell.c, line 23
 * gnome-libs/zvt/gnome-pty-helper.c, line 31
