bug report for inn-current (authprogs/smbval)

[Dan Foster]

The build of inn-current (20010103) fails on AIX 4.3.3 machines here:

         cc -g -I../include   -I../../include -c smblib.c
"std-defines.h", line 8.2: 1506-342 (W) "/*" detected in comment.
"/usr/include/sys/types.h", line 455.25: 1506-245 (S) Incompatible sign adjective "unsigned".
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

The workaround? Comment out this line in smblib.c and smbencrypt.c:

#define uchar unsigned char

Why did it fail? Because it's already typedef'd in /usr/include/sys/types.h.

To wit:

# grep uchar /usr/include/sys/types.h
typedef unsigned char   uchar_t;
typedef uchar_t         uchar;

I'm not sure how to best suggest how to make this definition more
portable amongst various OSes, so thought I'd bring it up because AIX
tools (IBM's C compiler) sure don't like it ;)

If you got this twice, my apologies. I'm not sure my first post went out;
I may have used incorrect posting address for that.
