OK, let me jump into to forray here.
How about doing the following:
define a symbol (has_mkstemp) based on the availiblity of this function
use code like this:
#if has_mkstemp
<use mkstemp to create filename and open file>
#else
<use mktemp to create filename>
<open file>
#endif
<continue>
If there are problems with availibility of mktemp, then a second symbol
(has_mktemp) can be used to decide if we should invoke a homemade version
of mktemp (possibly called ly_mktemp) as in the following:
#if has_mkstemp
<use mkstemp to create filename and open file>
#else
# if has_mktemp
<use mktemp to create filename>
<open file>
# else
<use ly_mktemp to create filename>
<open file>
# endif
#endif
<continue>
My C is a bit rusty since I haven't been doing C programming for the last
year (lots of HTML markup, CGI stuff in bourne shell and perl, and some other
stuff, but no C), but if needed, I could probably do ly_mktemp(). I know that
the windows version is a bit different, but with some finagling, can be worked
in.
