I have successfully built the latest version of CFS (1.4.0b1) under
RedHat Linux 5.0 which uses glibc2 and gcc 2.7.2. I set the following
in the distributed Makefile:
CFLAGS=$(COPT) -U__STDC__ -Dd_fileno=d_ino -I$(RINCLUDES)
LIBS=
COMPAT=
RPCOPTS= -k -b
Note that -U__STDC__ is *very* important. As Monty Walls pointed out,
rpcgen.new always generates prototypes. However, the use of -traditional
will not work due to *broken* header files with glibc2. In several
places they fail to properly test for the use of -traditional (i.e.
__GNUC__ is defined, but __STDC__ is not) and in numerous places they
do "#define SOMETHING SOMETHING" which causes infinite recursion with
-traditional. (Also, since -traditional is not used, -U__OPTIMIZE__
is also no longer needed.)
Regards,
George
