I was trying to build the latest 0.24/fixes branch of MythTV and ran
into an issue where many C files were using functions (usleep, write,
close, gethostname, etc.) that were not available/(in scope?). It
turns out that unistd.h provided these functions so I included it in
all the offending files which allowed building to complete.
Is there any reason this would be unsafe (or non-portable)? I've
submitted a patch upstream but I'd like to get current builds out if
there's no reason not to.
including unistd.h is the correct fix, this is necessary because
some libstdc++ headers used to include it implicitly and they
no longer do that, so now you need to include it explicitly.
