Description Todd Vierling 2004-04-28 02:14:34 UTC 
The following is the same issue as Bug 141251, also present in GLib2.

Compile GLib on Interix 3.5, which has <poll.h> but no <sys/poll.h>.  Fail
because the poll() symbol was found by "configure", but no header file was
included when compiling gmain.c to get the POLL* constants and prototype.

The Single Unix Specification standard explicitly states that these definitions
are in <poll.h>, not <sys/poll.h>.  But, it's possible that older systems only
have <sys/poll.h>.

Fix: Add "poll.h" to the list of headers searched in configure.in, and if
present (HAVE_POLL_H), use that *in preference to* <sys/poll.h> in gmain.c.
