Compilation Problems

[Sergio Crespo]

I'm trying to compile xinetd 2.3.8 in hpux 11.11, and I'm getting the following:

ddr.c: In function `addrlist_match':
addr.c:150: error: `NI_NAMEREQD' undeclared (first use in this function)

gmake[1]: *** [addr.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/depot/xinetd-2.3.8/xinetd'
gmake: *** [makeprog] Error 2

I'm using:

gcc 3.1.1
gmake 3.79.1
openssl 0.9.6d
zlib 1.1.3
tcp_wrappers 7.6


Can anyone tell what's missing to compile xinetd?

Thankx in advance

Hi,

One thing for sure, don't use openssl version 0.9.6d because this is a vulnerable version. Use version 0.9.6e or higher instead. Best is to use 0.9.6g.

You may want to refer to CERT advisory CA-2002-23 for more details on Openssl vulnerabilities.

Hope this helps. Regards.
