Try adding #include <cstdio> to zm_utils.cpp, I had a problem compiling zm_utils.cpp in openSuSE 11.2 and had to add that for it to compile, don't remember if it was for vsnprintf though.

Hello BlackMan,

Try adding #include <cstdio> to zm_utils.cpp, I had a problem compiling zm_utils.cpp in openSuSE 11.2 and had to add that for it to compile, don't remember if it was for vsnprintf though.

This fixed my issue on a Slackware current.

Thanks,
Grischuna

This worked for me also building on Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10

This also seemed to work for me on openSUSE 11.2 as well.

In my case it doesn't work, Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit.
Beginning of zm_utils.cpp:

//#include "zm_debug.h"
#include "zm_utils.h"

#include <stdio>
#include <stdarg>
#include <cstdio>

This was by default, no modifications from my side.

make command gives:

m_utils.cpp: In function ‘const std::string stringtf(const char*, ...)’:
zm_utils.cpp:32: error: ‘vsnprintf’ was not declared in this scope
zm_utils.cpp: In function ‘const std::string stringtf(const std::string&, ...)’:
zm_utils.cpp:47: error: ‘vsnprintf’ was not declared in this scope

compilling with gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) 4.4.5

Solved it, it was my bad. I was editing a different instance of zm_utils.cpp, a remnant from an ubuntu install.
