compiler error

i am trying to compile a source distribution that is intended for linux . it
has flags included -
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE and -DPOSIX_SOURCE

i get an error “#error This version of XOPEN_SOURCE is not supported”
which is appaently from platform.h file

#if defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)
#if _XOPEN_SOURCE-0 != 500
#error This version of XOPEN_SOURCE is not supported
#endif

how do i get about this problem…i have no idea how this _XOPEN_SOURCE-0
flag is determined …

i am using gcc compiler 2.95.2 …

thanks.

Try setting the flag to be
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500
