Hi there, I just discovered that you can't compile chntpw for amd64. But if you use the "-m32" compiler-option as suggested by the Makefile you get a working 32-bit application. Problem seams to be, that the application tries to read dword-values and relies on int-values for this. As you know 64-bit system use bigger int's so it will compile but won't work. My suggestions: change emake LIBS="-lcrypto" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" to emake LIBS="-lcrypto" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -m32" and add ~amd64. As the programm is not memory intense and does no big calculations this should be ok. Maybe you need app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs for it provides /usr/lib32/libcrypto.so Resulting Programm was tested for Windows XP.
As I wrote in bug#185183, the best way you can help is helping upstream to adjust his implementation to 64bit. There is no reason why this package is not able to run as pure 64bit... amd64, it is your call.
Created attachment 124991 [details, diff] conversion of longs to int32_t I have no nt password stuff to test on, but this patch will probably work.
It generates more warnings than 32bit compile but it seams to work (I tested on some Win XP passwords) I would have written this patch myself if I was more into C, but I had no idea how to get a number with a specific bit-length. So thank you Mike.
Sent a message to upstream to confirm this.
Well... Upstream does not response... Matthias, have you seen some activity there? Can you please try to contact them too?

I will tell you why I am so afraid of none ack patch from upstream... An invalid operation may cause the Windows machine unbootable.
Strange you did not get any warnings... Did you try the unpatched version? Prior to appyling the patch your cflags have to contain the -m32 flag, because the ebuild diasbles it and the programm won't work on any regestry file (complains about wrong format and so on)
Upstream is dead, so I will move this package to maintainer-needed. Sorry.
Strange... there are two "new" news entries dated to September 2007... (which is somewhere between my report an now) So upstream can't be that dead... I'll try to contact him tomorrow... maybe I'm lucky...
Any luck?
No cooperative upstream...

Opps. Thanks!
