Bug 25960 – VmailMgr doesn't work

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description daRonin 2003-08-05 09:36:15 UTC]

There is problem with cdb++ code.
In cdb++.h the author defines custom type:

typedef unsigned long uint32;

This will not work on Alpha platform since unsigned int size is different on
this platform. This definition should be replaced with:

#include <inttypes.h>
typedef uint32_t uint32;

As far as I can tell after this patch the uint32 will be defined properly on all
platforms.

Here is the patch:
