compiling MapScript on Solaris SunOS 5.9

[Matthias Pohl]

Hello list,

compiling MapScript on Solaris SunOS 5.9 works quite well, but the connection to MyGIS causes some problems. There are missing defs of 'u_int32_t' and similar types. On Solaris, you cannot find them in <sys/types.h>. You need to include <net/ppp_defs.h>. 

The following patch from Volker Grabsch takes care of this issue, and won't do any harm on systems where u_int32_t is correctly defined in <sys/types.h>:


patch mapmygis.c <<EOF
