Hello,

I am trying to build a coda test system using fedora core 9. I am using the following supporting code in my coda 6.9.3/6.9.4 rc compiles

Lwp ver lwp-2.4

Rpc2 ver 2.7

Rvm ver 1.15

 

During the make I get the following error

        then mv -f ".deps/getpeereid.Tpo" ".deps/getpeereid.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/getpeereid.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

gcc -Wall -fno-exceptions -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/coda/lwp/include -I/usr/local/coda/rvm/include -I/usr/local/

coda/rpc2/include -g -O2 -MT getpeereid.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/getpeereid.Tpo -c getpeereid.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/getpeereid.o

getpeereid.c: In function 'getpeereid':

getpeereid.c:48: error: storage size of 'cred' isn't known

getpeereid.c:49: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct ucred'

getpeereid.c:48: warning: unused variable 'cred'

make[3]: *** [getpeereid.lo] Error 1

make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/coda-6.9.3/lib-src/base'

make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/coda-6.9.3/lib-src'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/coda-6.9.3'

I check in coda-6.9.2 to see how cred is defined. The file getpeerid.c does not exsit  in the 6.9.2 version.

What can I do to get the 6.9.3 or 6.9.4rc compile to work.

                          Thank you

Fedora 9 has a version on glibc that hides a lot of data structures, and
the structures needed for getpeerid are only defined if you use some
define which introduces some other side-effects that I didn't want. I
think I've disabled compiling getpeerid support in the current version
in git.

here is the related changeset,
