[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 All,

Any pointers or suggestions on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I tried compiling several version of FreeSWITCH to see if I 
encounter the same issue, I have varying results. Version 1.0 compiles 
fine, version 1.0.2 fails and 1.0.3RC1/1.0.3 builds fine. But this error 
message is new in version 1.0.4preX. I've not tried any older 
pre-releases of 1.0.4 though.

Thanks
Bruce

Thanks
Bruce
