[Freeswitch-users] Solaris 10 build fails with "Compiler or options invalid; UNIX 03 and POSIX.1-2001 applications require the use of c99"

[Bruce McAlister]

Hi Jason,

If I try to compile with GCC, then I am faced with the original problem 
where the error returns saying I need to use a c99 compatible compiler, 
here is the specific error:

/bin/bash 
/export/home/user/packages/BUILD/freeswitch-1.0.4pre8/libs/apr/libtool 
--silent --mode=compile /usr/sfw/bin/gcc   -m32 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-DSOLARIS2=10 -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT 
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE   -I./include 
-I/export/home/user/packages/BUILD/freeswitch-1.0.4pre8/libs/apr/include/arch/unix 
-I./include/arch/unix 
-I/export/home/user/packages/BUILD/freeswitch-1.0.4pre8/libs/apr/include 
  -o locks/unix/thread_mutex.lo -c locks/unix/thread_mutex.c && touch 
locks/unix/thread_mutex.lo

In all cases I have started the build from the beginning, whereby I 
remove and re-extract the 1.0.4pre8 tarball. I've tried with just a 
configure and also a bootstrap/configure, but I end up with the same 
error (except when I change the compiler to Sun Studio 12's c99).

Is GCC 3.4.3 too old to use to build this version of freeswitch?

Thanks
Bruce
