[gnutls-help] Compiling gnutls on solaris

[dev]

may as well reply to myself as I see the problem and please pardon me
for unrolling the conditional expression in ./lib/x509/verify-high2.c
for the function load_dir_certs() :


static
int load_dir_certs(const char *dirname,
                          gnutls_x509_trust_list_t list,
                          unsigned int tl_flags, unsigned int tl_vflags,
                          unsigned type, unsigned crl)
{
        DIR *dirp;
        struct dirent *d;
        int ret;
        int r = 0;
        char path[GNUTLS_PATH_MAX];

        dirp = opendir(dirname);
        if (dirp != NULL) {
                do {
#ifdef _WIN32
                        d = readdir(dirp);
                        if (d != NULL) {
#else
                        struct dirent e;
                        ret = readdir_r(dirp, &e, &d);
                        if ( ret == 0
                                &&
                                d != NULL
                                &&
                                        ( d->d_type == DT_REG
                                        ||
                                        d->d_type == DT_LNK
                                        ||
                                        d->d_type == DT_UNKNOWN )
                           ) {
#endif


That is borked.

The use of d_type from dirent.h is not portable
as it is a GNUism from linux land only.

No such animal exists in the POSIX dirent.h :


http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/dirent.h.html


In fact, it never has existed :

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/dirent.h.html


so looks like someone in linux land did a GNUism non-portable no no.


therefore :


   CC       verify-high2.lo
 "verify-high2.c", line 312: error: undefined struct/union member:
d_type


yep.
