OS: SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 using gcc 2.95.3p4

client/client.c:3000:'PATH_MAX' undeclared.

This is related to bug 3746.

In SCO OpenServer 5, PATH_MAX is undefined in limits.h. Below is the relevant part of limits.h:
--------------------
/*
 * The following are not defined since the value can vary according
 * to the file referred to.
 *
 * In all cases, pathconf should be checked to find the actual value for
 * a particular file.
 *
 *	LINK_MAX		_PC_LINK_MAX	_POSIX_LINK_MAX
 *	NAME_MAX		_PC_NAME_MAX	PATHSIZE
 *	PATH_MAX		_PC_PATH_MAX	PATHSIZE
 *	PIPE_BUF		_PC_PIPE_BUF	_POSIX_PIPE_BUF
 *
 *  A similar rationale applies to the following cross compatibility values.
 *
 *	MAXPATHLEN		(from 4.2 BSD params.h)
 */


/*
 * It is arguable whether these should be defined even in _IBCS2 mode since
 * the defintions are WRONG on recent SCO OS's and pathconf should be
 * used instead
 */

#ifdef _IBCS2
#define LINK_MAX  1000
#define PATH_MAX   256
#define PIPE_BUF  5120
#endif /* _IBCS2 */
--------------------

The recommended solution is to use pathconf to find this value. Alternatively, you could use _POSIX_PATH_MAX since that is defined as 255 but that could be too restrictive.

A workaround to get this compiled is:
make FLAGS2="-DPATH_MAX=_POSIX_PATH_MAX"

But then I got 
utils/smbget.c:118:'MAXPATHLEN' undeclared.

As you can see from the part of limits.h extracted above, that is also deliberately undefined.

Adding -DMAXPATHLEN=_POSIX_PATH_MAX would probably work here too but it is time to go home.
