Hi I tried to compile latest release of tcsh on hurd, and out of the box I got the following error:
ma.setp.c: 138: error: conflicting types for 'rcmd' /usr/include/netdb.h: 499: error: previous declaration of 'rcmd' make: ***[ma.setp.o] Error 1 The error refers to a function (rcmd) declared in netdb.h with 6 parameters, and a function defined in ma.setp.c (rcmd) with just 1 parameter... To solve the compilation problem I tried moving /usr/include/netdb.h somewhere else, but apparently the header is required, so that didn't work. Then I just commented out the function declaration under netdb.h, and compilation succeded... Is this just a declaration that shouldn't be there? I noticed a comment about it under netdb.h: /* ... This function is not part of POSIX and therefore no official cancellation point. But due to similarity with an POSIX interface or due to the implementation it is a cancellation point and therefore not marked with __THROW. */ Should it be removed and nothing else would break? For safety I just uncommented back the function declaration, however I'm thinking due to the comment that maybe it should be removed... If so, would this be a bug? Any ways, the problem I had at hand was solved. I'm happily using tcsh (thankfully) under hurd... Thx, -- Javier-Elias Vasquez-Vivas
