I was having problems compiling latest cfengine (2.2.7) on Windows under the latest build of cygwin (1.5.25). With the help of a skilled colleague (thanks, Jared) we were able to get it to compile after making the changes below. ERROR #1: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/include/db4 -I/usr/include -g -O2 -Wreturn-type -Wmissing-prototypes -Wuninitialized -g -O2 -I/usr/include/db4 -g -O2 -I/usr/include/db4 -MT do.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/do.Tpo -c -o do.o do.c do.c: In function `CheckTimeZone': do.c:2732: error: called object is not a function SOLUTION: change line 2732 in do.c from: strcpy(tz,timezone()); to: strcpy(tz,_timezone); ----- ERROR #2: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/include/db4 -I/usr/include -g -O2 -Wreturn-type -Wmissing-prototypes -Wuninitialized -g -O2 -I/usr/include/db4 -g -O2 -I/usr/include/db4 -MT cfexecd.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/cfexecd.Tpo -c -o cfexecd.o cfexecd.c cfexecd.c: In function `StartServer': cfexecd.c:232: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast cfexecd.c:320: error: `_P_NOWAIT' undeclared (first use in this function) cfexecd.c:320: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once cfexecd.c:320: error: for each function it appears in.) SOLUTION: added the following lines to the end of cf.defs.h (we weren't sure where these belonged) #ifndef _P_WAIT # define _P_WAIT 0 # define _P_NOWAIT 1 # define _P_OVERLAY 2 # define _P_NOWAITO 3 # define _P_DETACH 4 # define WAIT_CHILD 0 # define WAIT_GRANDCHILD 1 #endif After making these 2 changes, make completes compile without any errors. Since I'm new to the list I'm not sure the proper procedure/format for submitting patches, but I have attached them to this message. Perhaps someone in the know can put them in the proper spot. Thanks, Rob Brown
