Conflicting gethostname function definition on Solaris 9

[John Ky]

Hello:

Building Python works fine. Now I am trying to build my own python
module on Solaris 9, but I'm getting the following conflict:

In file included from
/wrk/src/test/tools/local/include/python2.2/Python.h:62,
from elxml.cpp:20:
/wrk/src/test/tools/local/include/python2.2/pyport.h:333: declaration
of C function `int gethostname(cha r*, int)' conflicts with
/usr/include/unistd.h:274: previous declaration `int gethostname(cha r*, long
unsigned int)' here

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks

-John

To work around this, I had to do two things:

1. not defined "SOLARIS"
2. put "python.h" first in the header file.

Oops - I meant include "python.h" first before any other header
from my *.cpp file.
