Programming / Re: Compiling PMMail with GCC 4.9.2
« on: July 09, 2019, 01:58:52 am »After building pmmail we discovered an odd issue with the gcc compilers. The popen function is hard coded to use sh as its shell which doesn't play well with path names containing back slashes and of course fails on systems where sh isn't installed. This problem exists in 4.9.2 (I haven't tried the RPM version) and 8.3.0 (only ones I have tried). Apparently this wasn't true for 3.3.5. I have reported this on Paul's Mantis site.
umm popen is part of libc, not the compiler......
