Hi Allan, Gnulib has solutions for patches 3, 4, and 5 (wcwidth/wcswidth, asprintf/vasprintf, and mkdtemp) - basically everything QNX is missing. A solution to embed gnulib would be very practical. I tried a simple build by following the gnulib instructions, but had some trouble getting it to build PIC for including mkdtemp in libalpm; unfortunately I got called away to another project before I could investigate further. If you have any specific tips for how best to perform the integration, I'd be very interested. Thanks, -Will On 2015-03-02 11:50 PM, Allan McRae wrote:
From what I understand, if gnulib does work then we should add it as a git submodule and adjust our configure to use functions from there when necessary.
We can look into that further if you gnulib does lots of what you need.
Thanks, Allan

Gnulib does indeed have the necessary bits for patches 3, 4, and 5. Consider them withdrawn, then, and I'll update my QNX build environment accordingly.

Check if gnulib provides all the needed functions. If so, that might be the root to take.
