Hi,

I get the following errors when building ACE, we don't define uid or gid as macro's. Anyone an idea?

Johnny

Digital Mars Compiler Version 8.41n

        o_uid_t uid;
                  ^
c:\dm\bin\..\include\sys/stropts.h(148) : Error: ';' expected following
declaration of struct member
        o_gid_t gid;
                  ^
c:\dm\bin\..\include\sys/stropts.h(149) : Error: ';' expected following
declaration of struct member
--- errorlevel 1 

It likely means that o_uid_t is not defined, so the parser thinks it's a declaration for o_uid_t.

Hi,

Yes you are correct, o_uid_t and o_gid_t are not defined, when I add the typedefs below to my code the errors are gone, any idea how I could run into the situation where the DMC header files don't define o_uid_t and o_gid_t?

Johnny

     typedef long o_uid_t;
     typedef long o_gid_t;

Care to illuminate the rest of us as to what o_uid_t and o_gid_t are supposed to be in the Win32 environment?

I even looked on my FreeBSD box and didn't find those two typedefs. Perhaps they are dependent on "configure" detecting them in the platform's environment?

I have to search for it, but in types.h of the DMC compiler they are there, but between some ifdefs, didn't had time to analyze them.

Hi,

For the interested ones, our build results are online visible at http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~remedynl/dm/. We are working on the errors, linker options are not handled correct.

They're defined for unix builds, not for Win32 builds.

Why not just define them for win32. ACE/TAO uses them just in interfaces on Win32, the methods themselves are then without implementation.

I'm reluctant to do that because they don't make any sense for win32.
