2.0.0-pre1 - cannot build on FreeBSD

[David Wood]

Dear all,

I've put in quite a bit of work today towards porting 2.0.0-pre1 to 
FreeBSD, with the intention of submitting a FreeRADIUS 2 port as soon as 
possible.

Unfortunately, there's a problem which I don't have the autoconf skills 
to patch quickly. When checking (and later attempting to use) net/if.h, 
you need to #include sys/socket.h on FreeBSD to get the definition of 
struct sockaddr.

If someone can give me a patch, I'll carry on with the work.


What actually happens is that configure complains:

configure: WARNING: net/if.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: net/if.h:     check for missing prerequisite 
headers?
configure: WARNING: net/if.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: net/if.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be 
Compiled"
configure: WARNING: net/if.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: net/if.h: in the future, the compiler will take 
precedence

with the underlying entry in config.log of:

configure:22662: checking net/if.h usability
configure:22679: cc -c -O -pipe -march=pentium3 -I/usr/local/include 
-L/usr/local/lib -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS  conft
est.c >&5
In file included from conftest.c:83:
/usr/include/net/if.h:265: error: field `ifru_addr' has incomplete type
/usr/include/net/if.h:266: error: field `ifru_dstaddr' has incomplete

/usr/include/net/if.h:267: error: field `ifru_broadaddr' has incomplete

/usr/include/net/if.h:368: error: field `addr' has incomplete type
/usr/include/net/if.h:369: error: field `dstaddr' has incomplete type

(the incomplete type is no definition of struct sockaddr).


If you let things continue, the build eventually fails thus:

/usr/local/bin/libtool --mode=compile cc  -O -pipe -march=pentium3 
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -D_REENTRANT -D_POSIX_PTHRE

misc.c: In function `lrad_ipaddr_cmp':
misc.c:585: error: `AF_INET' undeclared (first use in this function)
gmake[4]: *** [misc.lo] Error 1

(sys/socket.h contains the #define for AF_INET - so if it's not the same 
problem, it's a very similar one).

If anyone wants more information (logs, typescript), I'll happily 
provide them.


I also can't get the PGP signature on the 2.0.0-pre1 tarball to verify - 
in the fairly old version of PGP 7 on my Windows XP box (which is the 
only place I have my keyrings), I get a bad signature error. The 
signature on 1.1.6 works just fine.



Looking forward to 2.0 - and trusting this is useful,
