#19807 [Com]: math.c: In function `_php_math_zvaltobase' [...] `HUGE_VAL' undeclared

ID: 19807 Comment by: pmurphy at ionixpharma dot com Reported By: public at wernig dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Solaris 8 Sparc PHP Version: 4.2.3 Assigned To: edink New Comment: Solaris 8 requires #include <values.h> to get most of the system-dependent maths values, and even then it doesn't have HUGE_VAL, despite this being referenced in the math(3HEAD) man page. By changing the reference to use MAXFLOAT instead and adding the #include above math.h, the code compiles - whether it achieves the same end is an interesting question...

Is it just bad luck then ...? (btw. I had googled up the same page, but couldn't find out if and how the problem was solved there) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-07 21:20:07] sniper@php.net btw. Some man pages for solaris 8 also mention HUGE_VAL..so it's NOT x86 specific. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-07 21:19:29] sniper@php.net Did some creative searches with google and came across this: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2001-04/msg00155.php I think you just have done something wrong or haven't installed some necessary package.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
