I am trying to push krb-5.B4.2 through a fully patched ANSI C compilier on an
an HP 9000 S800 running HP-UX 9.0.
krb5_encode fails to compile with the error message:
cc: "krb5_encode.c", line 342: error 1549: Modifiable lvalue
required for assign
ment operator.
(There are 3 other messages of the same ilk but with different line numbers.
All are assignments similar to the one below.)
The line in question in the above error message reads
rep->msg_type = KRB5_AS_REP;
in the routine encode_krb5_enc_rep_part whose opening lines are:
krb5_error_code encode_krb5_enc_kdc_rep_part(
DECLARG(const krb5_enc_kdc_rep_part *, rep),
DECLARG(krb5_data **, code))
OLDDECLARG(const krb5_enc_kdc_rep_part *, rep)
OLDDECLARG(krb5_data **, code)
It appears that rep is being declared as a pointer to a constant structure and
not as a constant pointer to a structure.
