  • Compile error In function `smb_init_idx':

    Hi all,

    Trying to compile the latest on CentOS 6.9 and getting the following. I'm
    open to suggestions because I've got no idea what could be causing this one.

    smblib.c: In function `smb_init_idx':
    smblib.c:1635: error: `idxrec_t' has no member named `subj'

    Looks like you're using a version of gcc that doesn't (correctly) support anonymous unions. I know it (anonymous unions) work correctly in v4.9.2 and later (and possibly earlier).

    I managed to get it to compile with devtoolset-6 and adding -ltinfo to the lines that don't. I used make -d --trace to find out exactly where. It
    seems to be running fine.

    Yes, exactly. The fix for me was to add -ltinfo into src/sbbs3/GNUmakefile
    for ECHOCFG and JSEXEC and in src/sbbs3/scfg/GNUmakefile for SCFG.
