Hello all,
I recently downloaded RSYNC 2.5.5 and had a problem compiling on a RedHat 5.2 i386 system (I know its old but my co-located machine is ancient and I can't easily upgrade it). Anyhow, I did: ./configure --prefix=/usr/services/rsync And make fails because of the file lib/addrinfo.h not defining things correctly. The configure script generated: #define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1 /* undef HAVE_GETADDRNAME */ Yet the way that works out I get undefined references to the NI_xxx constants in lib/addrinfo.h. They aren't in the standard headers for RH 5.2. So I tried disabling HAVE_GETADDRINFO and then compiling all that stuff since it looked like the RH 5.2 libraries had those functions but in an incompatible way. Then I got a ton of compile errors because stuff in lib/getaddrinfo.c conflicted with the standard headers. I managed to patch it together so it does work, including defining a number of symbols with alternate names at appropriate spots to "fake out" the compiler and linker. This probably needs to be fixed as the replacement approach to the C library doesn't work right. To probably compile somewhat portably, all of the #define's must be preceeded with #undef's and all of the symbols should include a prefix like rsync_ to avoid conflicts (including the structure tags).
