vsnprintf error compiling

vsnprintf error compiling

[Kizito Porta Balanyà]

Hello,

I'm trying to build the new version of monit (5.14) in cygwin, but I
get the following error executing configure:

autoreconf -i -f && automake -acf && ./configure

checking vsnprintf is c99 conformant... configure: error: in
`/tmp/monit-5.14/libmonit':
configure: error: vsnprintf does not conform to c99

Is cygwin GCC c99 conformant? I'm totally lost, perhaps what I say has
no sense.

Any help is welcome.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Regards.

Show the relevant portion of config.log, that shows the program that
monit attempted to compile, and the compiler error.  Most likely it is a
bug in monit's configure.ac, and not in cygwin.

Yes, cygwin's compilation of vsnprintf is supposed to be c99 compliant.
 But without seeing why monit claims it is not, I can't state
definitively if that is the case, or if monit has turned up an actual bug.

this looks suspicious. Antivirus interference ?
Or wrong permission in the tree.

I suspect Antivirus having the newly created file open.  Configure is
faster than the AV and creates, uses, removes the same file names over
and over again.  You might be able to configure the AV to ignore your
working environment.

Yes, you are right. Antivirus was causing the problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks a lot for your time.
