[Pdns-users] Solaris 8 with gmysql compile error - 2.9.16

[Petros Diveris]

sorry for previous html - mozilla mail you see!

Hi

Apologies if it has been covered before, I don't seem to be able to find 
anything about it on the the list. I am compiling pdns 2.9.16 with 
gmysql and recursor on Solaris 8, with gcc 3.3.2

When I ran make (obviously after configure) I got the following error:

In file included from smysql.cc:4:
smysql.hh:13: error: type specifier omitted for parameter `u_int16_t'
smysql.hh:13: error: parse error before `=' token
smysql.cc:16: error: prototype for `SMySQL::SMySQL(const std::string&, const
   std::string&, short unsigned int, const std::string&, const std::string&,
   const std::string&)' does not match any in class `SMySQL'
smysql.hh:11: error: candidates are: SMySQL::SMySQL()
smysql.hh:11: error:                 SMySQL::SMySQL(const SMySQL&)
make: *** [smysql.lo] Error 1

I added a

typedef uint16_t u_int16_t at the begining and that sorted the problem. 
Something similar happened with ippreftree.cc. This time I got the 
following error:

In file included from ippreftree.cc:10:
ippreftree.hh:27: error: parse error before `,' token
ippreftree.hh:30: error: parse error before `,' token
ippreftree.hh:41: error: parse error before `,' token
ippreftree.hh:43: error: parse error before `,' token
ippreftree.hh:46: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `u_int32_t' with no
   type
ippreftree.hh:46: error: `u_int32_t' declared as an `inline' field
ippreftree.hh:46: error: parse error before `(' token
ippreftree.hh:47: error: type specifier omitted for parameter `u_int32_t'
ippreftree.hh:47: error: parse error before `&' token

Again, I typedefed at the begining

typedef uint132_t u_int32_t

which sorted the problem out. However, running make I know got

mtasker.cc: In member function `void MTasker<EventKey,
   EventVal>::makeThread(void (*)(void*), void*) [with EventKey = PacketID,
   EventVal = std::string]':
pdns_recursor.cc:456:   instantiated from here
mtasker.cc:230: error: invalid conversion from `void (*)()' to `void 
(*)(...)'
make[3]: *** [pdns_recursor.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/pete/pdns-2.9.16/pdns'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/pete/pdns-2.9.16/pdns'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/pete/pdns-2.9.16'
make: *** [all] Error 2

It  seems that the #IFDEF SOLARIS on line 227 didn't actually do 
anything so I had to "force" it to use the Solaris specific line, i.e. 
makecontext (uc, void (*) (...))threadWrapper, 4, this, start, maxtid, val);

After that, the code compiled and built fine but obviously I can't 
really deploy if I am not sure about whether I am doing something wrong 
or there are probs with Solaris 8?

Any ideas/suggestions much appreciated.
