error compiling 4.3.0 --with-mysql

MadMikey

Whenever I compile 4.3.0 using --with-mysql, I recieve this error message:

my_tempnam.c:103: the use of tempnam' is dangerous, better usemkstemp'

Anyone know how I get around this?

[edit] I know this is supposed to be a warning that can be safely ignored, but compiling stops right here with no other error messages:

ext/mysql/libmysql/my_tempnam.lo: In function my_tempnam': /usr/local/src/php-4.3.0/ext/mysql/libmysql/my_tempnam.c:103: the use oftempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
[root@localhost php-4.3.0]#

I guess I should also point out that this is on RedHat 7.2.[/edit]

FIXED
After looking hard for a fix, and getting no help from PHP.NET, I finally changed line 103 of my_tempnam.c
to read:

res=mkstemp((char*) dir); /* Use stand. dir with prefix */

Now I'm not a C programmer by any stretch, but I was able to compile
successfully and install. Everything appears to be working correctly.

The function mkstemp returns a file descriptor, the function tempnam returns a string with a file name. This two functions are not(!) compatible.

I have found no call to this function in source. so I think you can make a comment from the code in this function.

The description says, that this function is used for old ISAM-Code. This code is probably removed.
