Description Anthony G. Basile 2015-05-26 10:42:00 UTC
Created attachment 1029854 [details]
Include <unistd.h> in utils/proc-llist.c

Description of problem:

utils/proc-llist.c references pid_t and uid_t types but does not include <unistd.h>. This works on Fedora which use glibc, and on embedded systems using uClibc, because of the way their headers stack.  But on musl (and possible other libc's) this fails. POSIX mandates that <unistd.h> provides these types. See Issue 6 at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/unistd.h.html.

The attached patch fixes the problem, and was tested on systems with glibc, uclibc and musl as their C standard lib.

What version are you talking about? I added this change specifically for musl:

https://fedorahosted.org/libcap-ng/changeset/71

This went out as version 0.7.7.

Sorry we have 0.7.5 in the Gentoo repo.  I'll bump it to 0.7.7, test and close this bug if it works.

OK, good. Just a FYI, I am probably going to release 0.7.8 within the next week. It fixes a compile problem when python3 is in the build root and python3's Python.h is not.

0.7.7 works just fine on musl.  Thanks.  I'll watch out for 0.7.8.
