[pac]

I got the following error while porting under APE:

/sys/include/ape/sys/time.h:4[stdin:555] not a function
/sys/include/ape/sys/time.h:4[stdin:555] syntax error, last name: header

I remarker out line 4 and everything goes OK. however, the #ifdef #else block is left empty then.

to expand on rog's response:
there are a number of header files which arn't defined in pure
ANSI or POSIX which many vendors include in "ANSI/POSIX"
environments anyway. Plan 9's APE takes a stricter approach;
if you say you're using ANSI/POSIX, that's what you get. if you
want more, you need to #define for those headers. APE
ensures you get this right by including lines that're not valid
C code, so the compiler fails, making sure you'll notice your
mistake. the common fix is to add the defines to your
command line or ma?ke?file.

check out the APE paper (/sys/doc/ape.ps), page 3, for a list
of what defines are understood to allow extra stuff. as rog
noted, _BSD_EXTENSION is the most common.

if you look at the file in question, you'll see that you need to
#define _BSD_EXTENSION if you want to use that include file.

  cheers,
