Re: RPM 4.4.4 compile problems on Mac OS X

["Otto Maddox" <ottomaddox fastmail fm>]

Thanks, Jeff, for your reply.

All I can make out is that these issues seems to be related to glibc
extensions.  For example, _SC_UINT_MAX is defined on my Debian box and
documented in the glibc manual, but isn't defined on Mac OS X and is
not in the POSIX standard.

I tried #defining them based on UINT_MAX and ULONG_MAX from limits.h
(which made me nervous because it's probably the wrong thing to do)
and this seemed to work, but then there was still this problem

rpmds.c:2930: error: 'struct utsname' has no member named 'domainname'

which also seems to be related to a GNU extension.  From the rpmds.c
source:

#if defined(_GNU_SOURCE)
    if (un->domainname != NULL && strcmp(un->domainname, "(none)"))
	rpmdsNSAdd(dsp, NS, "domainname", un->domainname, RPMSENSE_EQUAL);
#endif

I wonder why _GNU_SOURCE is being defined...  Isn't it a glibc thing?

Anyway, I'll keep trying, and will have a go at 4.4.3 if I can't work
it out in the next day or two.

Good luck with your backups and restores.
