[Zlib-devel] #ifdef out strerror prototype for VMS

[Cosmin Truta]

Is it because VMS lacks strerror, or because this particular prototype
doesn't work in VMS?

If it's the former, then this is not the right fix. The right way to do
it in that case is to make sure HAVE_STRERROR is not defined in the
presence of VMS.

I am curious, is HAVE_STRERROR defined in the VMS build? It's not
defined in zlib - so how come you run into this error?

Best regards,
Cosmin
