[Bacula-users] Can't compile Bacula 5.0.2 on AIX 4.3.3

Hi,

we are still running our Director on Bacula 2 and would like to update 
to 5. However, we have some old AIX Boxes (4.3.3) that are still running 
Bacula 1.36.3 (which I compiled w/o any problems many years ago).

However, now I'm stuch with alloca :-(

I tried both with gcc (3.0.1; I used gcc for the 1.36, too) and xlc (3.1).

The xlc-Results were not very promising; it just fails on the first file 
to compile.

However, gcc looks much better... until it runs into a call to alloca.

While I found some workarounds for xlc (#pragma alloca and -ma) I didn't 
find any for gcc :-(

I searched the System for alloca.h and also grepped all include-Files 
for alloca - but didn't find any Header that defined this function.

Btw: I used

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-libtool --enable-smartalloc 
--enable-client-only --without-openssl --disable-build-dird 
--disable-build-stored

to configure. If someone needs the full output of configure I'll post.

configure:40057: checking for _doprnt
configure:40113: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall   conftest.c >&5
configure:40119: $? = 0
configure:40136: result: yes
configure:40152: checking for working alloca.h
configure:40179: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall   conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:138:20: alloca.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c: In function `main':
conftest.c:142: warning: implicit declaration of function `alloca'
configure:40185: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */


Dies anyone have a hint? Would really be nice to make the step forward 
to bacula 5...

MTIA,
Cheers!
