[lists-vmailmgr_at_biaix.org: issues compiling on FreeBSD-5.1]

Hi,

I can't compile vmailmgr on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p10, find the initial
details in the attached message (which can't make it to
vmailmgr_at_lists.em.ca).  What follows is copy'n'pasted compiler output of
my attempts at 'fixing' the issue. However, the error messages don't
give me more hints, and I have no further clue (why shouldn't configure
find strlen or uid_t?, why shouldn't gcc know about constructors?)

I've tried adding #include <string.h> to config.h, and then it fails at:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I..    -g -O2 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -W -c datum.cc
In file included from ../fdbuf/fdbuf.h:78,

[joan_at_peque:~/packages/vmailmgr-0.96.9]0$

If I then add #include <sys/types.h> to config.h I get:

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/fs/home/mount/home/joan/packages/vmailmgr-0.96.9/lib/mystring'

Adding #include <string.h> to lib/mystring/append.cc gets me to:

And here I have to give up. Obviously configure it's not doing it's job,
but I have no idea how to solve this. Any workarounds?
