struct.c:286: error: implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy'

[Dieter Plaetinck <di...@plaetinck.be>]

Hi all,

I have:
boost 1.39.0
g++ (GCC) 4.4.2
autoconf 2.64
automake 1.11
libtool 2.2.6a
pkgconfig 0.23
flex 2.5.35
bison 2.4.1
on Arch Linux 32bit 2.6.31

When building thrift, I'm getting an error:
struct.c:286: error: implicit declaration of function ‘strlcpy’

it seems like this is a known issue:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-605
http://github.com/fauna/cassandra/issues#issue/4

But what's the solution?


for the sake of completeness, here is the output of bootstrap.sh,
configure and the relevant part of make.

Thanks!
Dieter
