Hi,

Trying to build GNUnet on an OpenBSD 3.9 Sparc64 and it fails.

I'm not surprised -- I've not had anyone report trying to get GNUnet to work on any BSD for a few years now. It would certainly be great if someone would make the effort of getting it to work (again), and any patches would certainly be welcome. But yes, I'd expect trouble ;-).

When compiling src/util/checksum.c , it gives this error message :

In file included from ../../src/include/platform.h:70,
                 from checksum.c:31:

Maybe the order in which we include header files does not work for OpenBSD (or maybe some #include needs to be added). As to which order would work, I don't know -- if you find out what needs to be changed, please send the diff!

You might eliminate some of those problems using --disable-nls to disable gettext support. At least as a workaround.

By looking at the sources of tcp.h, there is a test before line 50 about
determining if the system is a big endian or a little endian.

Does this syntax error comes because the variables about system
endianess are not initialised?

Are they not? You could just put a #define at the beginning of platform.h and see if that resolves the problem. On Linux, I do have some system variables for endianess that are properly defined, so yes, this could be a problem.

Good luck!

Christian

I solved the problem by including sys/types.h in platform.h if it help.
