Subject:    Bug#1627: Portability Problem on SGI Irix

Package: kdenetwork
Version: 1.1.1

The kmail Application does not compile on SGI Irix 6.x. The compilation
dies in kmail/kmfolder.cpp, as the flock call interferes on SGI with the
structure. This is describe in the SGI Manpages, with the correct solution:

Excerpt from "man flock":

     In C++, the function name flock collides with the structure name flock
     (which is declared in <sys/fcntl.h> and included in <sys/file.h> ).  When
     using flock() in C++, one must define _BSD_COMPAT before including
     sys/file.h


The following patch solves the problem:

*** kmail/kmfolder.cpp.orig     Thu Jul 29 14:32:55 1999
--- kmail/kmfolder.cpp  Thu Jul 29 14:32:59 1999
