Rickard Bondesson reported on botan-devel about some problems building
on Solaris 10 with GCC 3.4.3. First, remove the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 in mmap_mem.cpp and unix_cmd.cpp, because apparently on Solaris defining this macro breaks C++ compilation entirely with GCC: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6395191 In es_egd.cpp and es_dev.cpp, include <fcntl.h> to get the declaration of open(), which is apparently where open(2) lives on Solaris - this matches the include the *BSD man pages for open(2) show, though AFAIK the BSDs all compiled fine without it (probably due to greater efforts to be source-compatible with Linux systems by *BSD developers). I have not been able to test these changes personally on Solaris but Rickard reports that with these changes everything compiles OK. Update lib version to 1.8.0-pre. ZOMG. Finally.

Botan is a C++ class library for performing a wide variety of
cryptographic operations.
-This is the third release candidate for Botan 1.8.0. I consider it the
-best version available, and recommend all users upgrade from 1.6 or
-earlier versions as soon as possible. Some APIs have changed
-incompatibly since the 1.6 release series, but most applications
-should work as-is or with only simple modifications.
