[syslog-ng]Trying to compile with SUN's cc compiler.

[Jay Davis]

Here is the results after running make.

I had to change this in the configure file:
if test $enable_debug = "yes"; then
        CFLAGS="-Wall -g"
else
#       CFLAGS="-Wall -O2"
        CFLAGS="-w -fast"
fi

-fast is optimzed. -w is supress warnings.

The offending line in objbase.h is:

#ifdef DEBUG_ALLOC

struct ol_string_header
{
  int magic; /* For a sentinel value */
};

#else   /* !DEBUG_ALLOC */

struct ol_string_header {};   <--------------Line 67.

#endif  /* !DEBUG_ALLOC */


My C is a little old. I'll have to crack out my very old Kernigan book.
Can you create a null pointer to a struct like that? Is this a picky
compiler and should ignore it? I was able to get this compiled using.
gcc. I HAVE to get this compiled with the SUN compiler. Yes I am brave.
