Is mergesort() FreeBSD only? about midipp HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

The code contains #ifdefs for qsort/mergesort. I'm surprised there is only qsort() under Linux.

Should I add #if defined(__linux__) || defined(__ANDROID__) ??

#ifdef __ANDROID__
        qsort(ptemp, n, sizeof(ptemp[0]), &MppSheetRowCompare);
#else
        mergesort(ptemp, n, sizeof(ptemp[0]), &MppSheetRowCompare);
#endif

--HPS

yes I read the code, but as I'm not very familiar with glibc i have no real clue how to deal with this. I searched a bit and found contradicting infos about qsort being in fact a mergesort algorithm, but from reading the source code I think it is not. Someone else said there is a msort() function, but my glibc doesn't provide such a call it seems.
I can try the #if defined ... change and patch my package for now, and report whether it works.

It builds now with this patch .
