However, poll.h is not included. This should already be included by git-compat-util.h: $ grep -C1 poll.h git-compat-util.h #ifndef NO_SYS_POLL_H #include #else #include #endif It looks like we will prefer sys/poll.h if it exists. The official XSI location is "poll.h", but I guess in practice they are equivalent on most systems if you have both (certainly on Linux, poll.h just includes sys/poll.h). Does your environments have a sys/poll.h that exists isn't sufficient to use poll? Maybe we need to tweak git-compat-util to include both if they both exist. -Peff ``` ## Sven Strickroth, 2012-04-20 21:26 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fixed compilation with Visual Studio by including poll.h Message-ID: <4F91D489.8050402@tu-clausthal.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4F91D489.8050402%40tu-clausthal.de In-Reply-To: <20120420204722.GD13103@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` Windows does not have sys/poll.h.

There actually is no preference between the two from _our_ side.

I guess, but I suspect that on most sane systems one would include the other if there are both provided (iow, just so that you can complile sources written both for XSI and for systems in the field). ``` ## Erik Faye-Lund, 2012-04-20 21:58 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fixed compilation with Visual Studio by including poll.h Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CABPQNSb7NeHOnOy-zmNMA3Jp143oCYqsGjK%3D%2BuatsS9bYaN5hA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <4F91D489.8050402@tu-clausthal.de> ``` On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 11:26 PM, Sven Strickroth wrote: > Windows does not have sys/poll.h.

Our Makefile already does this inside the "ifeq ($(uname_S),Windows)"-block. How are you building Git? ``` ## Jeff King, 2012-04-20 23:23 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fixed compilation with Visual Studio by including poll.h Message-ID: <20120420232319.GA14109@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20120420232319.GA14109%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 02:51:58PM -0700, Junio C Hamano wrote: > > It looks like we will prefer sys/poll.h if it exists.

It is > up to the builder to know and define necessary make variables. I say "prefer" only because if you set nothing, you get "sys/poll.h". So it is up to the builder to say "no, I do not have that non-standard location. Use the standard one instead". Which seems a little backwards. Of course "standard" here is just what POSIX says; sys/poll.h may be much more standard in the real world (I don't know). > > Does your environments have a sys/poll.h that exists isn't sufficient to > > use poll?

I would think one or the other would be fine. But the fact that Sven's patch works makes me think that he has sys/poll.h, but it is not sufficient. Hopefully including "poll.h" would be enough, but it's not clear to me. -Peff ```
