It has its own non-autoconf build configuration system, and it's not easily fixed because it assumes that implicit function declarations are supported: sources with multiple functions are compiled (but not linked), and those functions that produce diagnostics are flagged as unsupported (or so I assume). I'm inclined towards building procmail in C89 mode for Fedora. Thanks, Florian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

(Stephen, this mailing list discusses modernizing C code (see https://lwn.net/Articles/913505/)) (Looking at the issue tracker, items like https://github.com/BuGlessRB/procmail/issues/1 are tracked.)
