Dear Patrick,
there seems to be a portability issue for ifhp-3.5.17 to irix-6.2.
The type `socklen_t' does not appear to be declared anywhere under
/usr/include and this makes compiling of monitor.c fail:
---SNIP---
gcc -g -W -Wall -Wno-unused -g -O2 -g -W -Wall -Wno-unused -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-I. -I.. -I. -DIFHP_CONF=\"/usr/local/etc/lprng-d/ifhp.conf\"
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DDEVFD0=\"/dev/fd/0\" -c -o monitor.o
monitor.c
monitor.c: In function `main':
monitor.c:232: error: `socklen_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
monitor.c:232: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
monitor.c:232: error: for each function it appears in.)
monitor.c:232: error: parse error before "len"
monitor.c:233: error: `len' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[2]: *** [monitor.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/balducci/tmp/lprng-d/ifhp-3.5.17/src'
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/balducci/tmp/lprng-d/ifhp-3.5.17'
---SNIP---
Putting the explicit declaration in, e.g., ifhp.h:
typedef unsigned int socklen_t;
makes things work.
Googling around, it looks like this is a known issue for irix
portability (search for `socklen_t irix'):
E.g.:
---SNIP---
X
X-/* recvfrom() and others like socklen_t, Irix doesn't provide it */
X-#ifndef HAVE_SOCKLEN_T
X- typedef int socklen_t;
X-#endif
X
----SNIP---
etc.
I realize that irix-6.2 is somewhat oldish (...), but the problem is
almost certainly present in more recent versions of this OS (6.5?).
Would it be easy to implement a test for socklen_t declaration at
the configure level?
Apologies if I'm missing anything.
Thank you very much in advance and ciao
