Bug#663963: leafnode: Fails to build on Hurd

Hi Matthias,

Sorry for the delay, but I've been away.

On Wed, 25 April 2012, you wrote:

It does, but...

...it returns -1.



I'm confident, that we (me and/or someone from the hurd porters) will
provide a patch.

As it is no pressing matter, given that neither experimental nor the
Hurd influence the release, it may take a while.

Regards,
Robert

Bug#663963: leafnode: Fails to build on Hurd

2012-04-25 Thread Matthias Andree 
Does Hurd support pathconf("/var/spool/news", _PC_PATH_MAX)?

Which value does it return?

Does Hurd return a value no smaller than _POSIX_PATH_MAX (256)?

I might consider replacing PATH_MAX by a pathconf all to the spool
directory for systems where PATH_MAX is missing, because that is covered
by POSIX -- but if the Hurd requires application programmers to jump
through hoops because the Hurd violates POSIX, you'll need to get along
without the upstream support.

Bug#663963: leafnode: Fails to build on Hurd

2012-03-14 Thread Hilmar Preuße 
Package: leafnode
Version: 2.0.0.alpha20090406a-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

this is probably not new to you: the new leafnode fails to build on hurd.

make[2]: Entering directory
`/build/buildd-leafnode_2.0.0.alpha20090406a-1-hurd-i386-UMWKXX/leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20090406a'

activutil.c: In function 'writeactive':
activutil.c:264: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)
activutil.c:264: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
activutil.c:264: error: for each function it appears in.)
activutil.c: In function 'readactive':
activutil.c:453: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)

The problem seems to be the following definition in leafnode.h:

/*@constant int LN_PATH_MAX;@*/
#define LN_PATH_MAX (PATH_MAX + 1)

It assumes that PATH_MAX is defined. According to
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/maxpath.html
one can not assume that this is the case. I suggest to contact Samuel
Thibault, he's very cooperative when solving these kind of problems.

Thanks,
  Hilmar
