build fails due to missing headers

[jhoblitt]

It seems that Solaris 8 does not provide either stdint.h or complex.h. I
suspect that stdin.h can be replaced with sys/int_types.h but I don't know what
to do about complex.h.

As a side note, this webpage seems to suggest that complex.h is broken:

Since Solaris is not a required platform, I'm marking this as an 'enhancement'.

BTW, We have no Solaris machines available here at MHPCC.

After thinking about it, I do recall Solaris being dropped as a supported
platform. I think it's reasonable to just document that fact that we know we're
broken on Solaris in the release notes.

[robert.desonia@…]

According to sun.com, complex.h and stdint.h are available with Solaris 10.
Time to update??? ;-)

[jhoblitt]

Unfortunately, Solaris 8 is probably the most common platform in astronomy.
I'll try to find a Solaris 10 machine to test on.

[robert.desonia@…]

I saw mention of a gstdint.h, a GNU version of stdint.h, on Solaris that comes
with some GCC solaris distributions Can you check if there is a gstdint.h and
gcomplex.h on the Solaris machine in question?

[jhoblitt]

The IFA does not have any Solaris 10 machines. The issue of if Solaris < 10
will be supported should be revisited in the near future.
