building CUPS under AIX 5.3/snprintf

[Anonymous]

I got no replies from this Forum on the compilation issue I described.  We went with the pre-build binaries from easysw.com instead - well worth the $10.

Most of CUPS compiles fine - but we are running into some issues with the way our AIX development box was configured with the built-in g++ balking on pdftops.cxx because of a definition of snprintf in stdio.h not being seen.  See below:
