Package: autoconf
Version: 2.13-12
Severity: normal


In the test for whether getpgrp() takes an argument, we have the following
code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int     pid;
int     pg1, pg2, pg3, pg4;
int     ng, np, s, child;

main()
{
        pid = getpid();
        pg1 = getpgrp(0);
        pg2 = getpgrp();
        pg3 = getpgrp(pid);
        pg4 = getpgrp(1);

<snip>



Now, naturally, getpid() and getpgrp() are undeclared.  If the tests are
being run with a C++ compiler, as is the case in 'maildrop's configuration
(AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS), that's not a warning, it's an error.  Adding the
following to the top of the test fixes it:



#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

char getpid();
char getpgrp();

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
