hi philip,
That was an aside rather than a reason. The reason is that your system
warns if a symbol in a program re-defines one in a library.
fair enuf.
cc dns.c
dns.c: In function 'dns_next_rr':
dns.c:171: error: 'HEADER' undeclared (first use in this function)
HEADER is defined as a structure in /usr/include/arpa/nameser_compat.h
on my box. This is included automatically from
/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h. I cannot think of any way of fudging round
this one.
in BOTH my /usr/include/arpa/nameser_compat.h &
/usr/include/arpa/nameser8_compat.h, there is, indeed, a HEADER struct def,
e.g.:
typedef struct {
unsigned id :16; /* query identification number */
#if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
/* fields in third byte */
unsigned qr: 1; /* response flag */
...
unsigned arcount :16; /* number of resource entries */
} HEADER;
checking, my /usr/include/arpa/nameser.h exists (as a link back to
../nameser.h):
% ls -al /usr/include/arpa/nameser.h
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Jun 6 15:44 nameser.h -> ../nameser.h
in it, i find:
...
#ifndef _NAMESER_9_H_
#define _NAMESER_9_H_
#ifdef BIND_8_COMPAT
#include <arpa/nameser8_compat.h>
#else
#include <sys/param.h>
#if (!defined(BSD)) || (BSD < 199306)
...
which should clearly be pulling in the HEADER struct from nameser8_compat.h
when BIND_8_COMPAT is defined.
revisiting; per Changelog ...

dns.c:764: error: 'T_SOA' undeclared (first use in this function)
T_SOA was one I overlooked when I added the other T_xx thing defaults.
But as I can't do the structure, you will have to find out whether there
are any definitions of these things on your box. It is indeed the BIND 8
compatibility issue. If there is a file that defines them, we might be
able to sort this out.
let's see:
ls -al ./build-Darwin-powerpc/dns.c
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Jun 28 10:22 ./build-Darwin-powerpc/dns.c
-> ../src/dns.c
% grep "nameser.h" ./src/dns.c
(empty)
% grep "include " ./src/dns.c
#include "exim.h"
there's only one include of exim.h, where:
% grep "nameser.h" ./src/exim.h
#include <arpa/nameser.h>
arpa/nameser.h *is* included, afaik, outside of any conditional ...
so, i'm confused ... with BIND_8_COMPAT *defined*, why are we NOT seeing the
HEADER struct def?
trying some bruteforce tests ...
EDITing dns.c
#include "exim.h"
+++ #include "/usr//include/arpa/nameser_compat.h"
NOW, 'make' *continues* thru the 'missing' HEADER def, ad eventually fails w/:
