[Fribidi-discuss] Building fribidi on OSF1 alpha: snprintf

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Hi Tzafrir,

Quoting man printf(3):

       Linux libc4.[45] does not have a snprintf, but provides  a
       libbsd  that  contains  an snprintf equivalent to sprintf,
       i.e., one that ignores the size argument.  Thus,  the  use
       of  snprintf  with  early  libc4 leads to serious security
       problems.

It should be the problem there too, try "LDFLAGS=-lbsd" ./configure".

I have no idea of what to do, maybe I can change it to sprintf.
