Source: mblaze Version: 0.2-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream Justification: fails to build from source User: debian-hurd@lists.debian.org Usertags: hurd
The build of mblaze for hurd-i386 (admittedly not a release architecture) failed with multiple errors of the form seq.c:21:19: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'INT8_MAX'? as detailed in [1]. The Hurd notoriously has no static PATH_MAX. Best practice is dynamically accommodating whatever you actually encounter, since fixed-size buffers generally run the risk of either wasting memory or yielding truncation (or, worse, buffer overflows). However, if that's infeasible, you can also look up _PC_PATH_MAX via pathconf or even supply a fallback constant (traditionally 4096). Could you please take a look? Thanks!
