Hello,
I have recently been working with your kerberos5, beta 2 code. I am
compiling in a standard Sun environment. Everything seems to be working
well so far, except for two small problems. First, there are instances
of the following line:
#ifdef 0
in the code (e.g. kdc/policy.c). The sun C compiler does not like this, so
I have changed them to:
#ifdef notdef
to follow the common format of the rest of the code.
Also, the following variable is defined in config/Imake.tmpl:
VPATH = SourceTop/CURDIR
This confuses the Sun 'make' command in such a way that only the first
instance of a rule is processed, all other instances are ignored. To fix
the problem, I removed the occurance of VPATH from the template file and
rebuilt all the Makefiles...everything compiled fine after that.
Beyond that, I have not run into any more problems. However, I would like
to ask a couple of questions if I may.
1. I noticed that version 5 requires certain libraries (such as -lkrb)
from version 4. Will the final release of version 5 be completely
independent from version 4 (i.e. the version 4 routines ported
into the existing version 5 libraries)?
2. Do you have any notion of when a final (non-beta) release of
version 5 will be available? If possible, could you give me
a time frame (i.e. days, weeks, months)?
Thank you very much for any answers you can provide me with.
Sincerely,
Robert Karsten
