This compiler doesn't seem to like monitor_fdpass.c. Configured as: ./configure --with-prngd-socket=/usr/local/var/run/egd-pool --with-mantype=man Compiler complaint, on several lines of monitor_fdpass.c: "monitor_fdpass.c", line 42.36: 1506-043 (S) Sizeof operator cannot be used with functions, void, bit-fields, incomplete types, or arrays of unknown size. monitor_fdpass.c line 42: char tmp[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(int))]; CMSG_SPACE is being picked up from defines.h, line 464: #define CMSG_SPACE(len) (__CMSG_ALIGN(sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) + __CMSG_ALIGN(len))
More investigation shows that adding "--with-cppflags=-D_BSD=44" triggers a "struct cmsghdr" definition in the system headers, fixing the compilation error. However, that triggers changes to the WIFEXITED() macro and friends, such that they expect a "struct wait" instead of an "int", which breaks the compile of entropy.c. Read some traffic on the openssh-unix-dev mailing list about a similar "struct cmsghdr" compile error on SCO 3.2v4.2, and about a fix/workaround being in CVS. Will try again with Monday's snapshot.
The weekend's changes in -current have fixed (or avoided) the "Sizeof operator cannot be used with functions, void, bit-fields, incomplete types or arrays of unknown size." errors. Found a couple more build problems in this environment. 1. The AIX 3.2.5 linker, unlike later ones, doesn't like the "-blibpath" option. I have patched configure.ac to detect and deal with this condition. 2. This compiler does not have a 64-bit type. If fed "long long", it issues the warning "1506-114 (W) Duplicate length adjective long ignored." and treats the entity as "long". Configure then thinks we have a "long long" type, and can therefore build sftp-server, which is wrong, because it won't work without 64-bit integers. I've put a quick kludge into configure.ac to ignore any "long long int" that is 4 bytes in size. With these changes, build completes, with a few warnings. Preliminary testing is promising. Will attach a patch for configure.ac to this bug in a minute or two.
