ettercap uses platform detection to guess which headers to use, rather
than looking at which headers are actually present, so it needs
special hand-holding every time it gets ported to an "unexpected"
platform. I think the bug here is that sys/types.h is needed, but
wdg.h includes stdint.h instead because we're not Solaris. Could try
patching src/interfaces/curses/widgets/wdg.h starting at line 24:
-#if defined HAVE_STDINT_H && !defined OS_SOLARIS
+#if defined HAVE_STDINT_H
#include <stdint.h>
-#elif !defined OS_SOLARIS
+#endif
+#if defined HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H
#include <sys/types.h>
-#elif defined OS_SOLARIS
- #include <sys/inttypes.h>
#endif
