Bug 68709 – cfengine uses incorrect typedef for setnetgrent()

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description solar (RETIRED) 2004-10-24 08:53:32 UTC]

As seen in the cfengine code http://www.cfengine.org/src-mirror/prototypes.h the
deceleration for setnetgrent() uses type void while /usr/include/netdb.h itself 
defines setnetgrent() as type int.
This results in the cfengine build to failing when HAVE_GETNETGRENT is not defined.

I'm using sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2  with "-doc -java -tcltk"
This problem showed up for me while building cfengine on a uClibc system.

This problem seems to be an old one

ebuild changes. Also adds gnuconfig_update (needed for atleast uClibc)

reported and fixed in upstream, so it will be included as part of 2.1.11.

A patched 2.1.10 will be in portage shortly.
