Building on HP-UX with the HP ANSI C compiler:


% make                                     
        cc -Ae -c  -O  -O  -I. -I./Include    -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Python/pythonrun.o Python/pythonrun.c
"Python/pythonrun.c", line 805: error #2020: identifier "PATH_MAX" is undefined
  static wchar_t env_home[PATH_MAX+1];
                          ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "Python/pythonrun.c".
*** Error exit code 2

Stop.

Placeholder bug whilst I do some more digging.

PATH_MAX seems to be a mess on HP-UX: It's only defined in limits.h
if _INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_PRE_500 is defined.

But MAXPATHLEN is always defined in sys/param.h, so I suggest to use that
(patch attached).


Other projects take a similar approach by just defining PATH_MAX as 1024:
