Package: socat Version: 1.7.3.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
It seems socat fails to build on hurd. This in turn affects util-linux which has a build-dependency on socat for tests. Rather than excluding socat specifically on hurd, I think it would be better to have socat building. Not a hurd expert myself so took the simplest possible way forward in the attached patch which I've confirmed to build on the hurd porterbox. Hopefully an actual hurd porter can improve on it if needed (and actually runtime test the results). See also comments in patch header. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
Subject: Have compat.h define PATH_MAX if undefined From: Andreas Henriksson <andr...@fatal.se> This solves the build problem on Hurd. Not sure if this approach, replacing all PATH_MAX usages with UNIX_PATH_MAX is better. Or even if it would be possible to rewrite all users of both of them to not rely on PATH_MAX at all. Oh well, this builds... (no other testing done.) https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=socat&arch=hurd-i386&ver=1.7.3.2-1&stamp=1499666768&raw=0 --- socat-1.7.3.2.orig/compat.h +++ socat-1.7.3.2/compat.h @@ -72,6 +72,10 @@ typedef int sig_atomic_t; # define UNIX_PATH_MAX 104 /*! why 104?
