PC164 Alpha, RedHat 5.0 (Linux 2.0.30), target is same, glibc2
System: Linux robotuna.mit.edu 2.0.30 #2 Wed May 20 14:16:33 EDT 1998 alpha unknown
Architecture: alpha
>Description:
The stock krlogin.c doesn't compile on my Linux/Alpha
machine running RedHat 5.0 (based on Linux 2.0.30 and glibc 2).
gcc can't find a type definition for struct ltchars. However, I did
not have a problem buiding any krb5 with the RedHat 4.2's kernel sources
(also based on 2.0.30, but with glibc 1.9).
>How-To-Repeat:
Build krlogin.c with stock source distribution on
RedHat 5.0/Alpha system.
>Fix:
I found the type definition for struct ltchars in
/usr/include/asm/termios.h (/usr/src/linux/include/asm/termios.h) and
copied the definitions for structs ltchars and tchars to a separate header
file, and included this header in krlogin.c. make was happy, and the
binaries seem to work fine, but this fix is admittedly a very
poor kludge. Unfortunately, I no longer have RedHat 4.2 installed,
and therefore can't see which header file in that distribution contained
the struct definitions.
