Description
Discovered when built on Solaris.
info.c: In function ‘info_show_info’:
info.c:269:50: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘chattr_get_as_str’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
269 | tty_printf (_("Attributes: %s"), chattr_get_as_str (attr));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
info.c:269:50: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘chattr_get_as_str’ [-Wnested-externs]
In file included from info.c:38:
and then
Undefined first referenced symbol in file chattr_get_as_str ./.libs/libinternal.a(info.o) ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors
I do not have any ext2fs library on Solaris, so mc is configured without ext2fs attributes support.
The suggested fix: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/188
Alternative fix: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/189

Function chattr_get_as_str is declared in src/filemanager/cmd.h as
#ifdef ENABLE_EXT2FS_ATTR /* chattr.c */ void chattr_cmd (WPanel * panel); const char *chattr_get_as_str (unsigned long attr); #endif

I've tested the git master. Now dist could be made (tested on Debian Sid) and then mc could be built on Solaris.
However, there are a few compiler warnings, including the warning introduced by this patch:
info.c: In function ‘info_show_info’:
info.c:264:27: warning: unused variable ‘attr’ [-Wunused-variable]
264 | unsigned long attr;
| ^~~~
The alternative patch could fix this warning as well.
