Bug 437232 – net-misc/proxychains-3.1 fails to compile with sys-libs/glibc-2.15

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

libproxychains.c:291:5: error: conflicting types for 'getnameinfo'
/usr/include/netdb.h:679:12: note: previous declaration of 'getnameinfo' was here
make[3]: *** [libproxychains.lo] Error 1

In libproxychains.c:

int getnameinfo (const struct sockaddr * sa,
            socklen_t salen, char * host,
            socklen_t hostlen, char * serv,
            socklen_t servlen, unsigned int flags)

In netdb.h:

extern int getnameinfo (__const struct sockaddr *__restrict __sa,
            socklen_t __salen, char *__restrict __host,
            socklen_t __hostlen, char *__restrict __serv,
            socklen_t __servlen, int __flags);

Changing flags type to int makes the compilation succeed (the internal variable is an int anyway).

Err... ignore the comment about the internal variable.

See also the patch agains glibc-2.15 in bug #408427.

[Comment 3 Tim Harder 2012-10-04 22:29:31 UTC]

Fixed in proxychains-3.1_p20110225-r1 in CVS.
