Bug#881783: libesedb: FTBFS on hurd-i386: PATH_MAX undeclared
Source: libesedb
Version: 20170121-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source
User: debian-hurd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd-i386
Builds of libesedb for hurd-i386 (admittedly not a release
architecture) have been failing:
libcpath_path.c:487:45: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'INT8_MAX'?
The Hurd famously has no static PATH_MAX. Best practice is to
allocate path buffers dynamically based on what you actually
encounter, but if that's not convenient, you can look up _PC_PATH_MAX
via pathconf or define a fallback constant (traditionally 4096).
Could you please take a look?
Thanks!
