Errors of compiling NM-0.8.2-beta1

[cee1 <fykcee1 gmail com>]

Hi all,

I've checked out a source of 0.8.2-beta1, try to compile it, and encounter several problems. They can be classified as follows:

• Related to build system:
1. To use "isblank" (src/nm-policy-hosts.c, src/nm-policy.c), needs to enable C99. (see "man blank")
2. To use "isascii" (libnm-util/nm-setting-wireless-security.c, ...), needs to define _BSD_SOURCE. (see "man isascii")
3. To use "kill" (src/nm-device.c, ...), needs to define _POSIX_SOURCE. (see "man 2 kill")

So (one way) to build 0.8.2-beta1 successfully, I need(before ./configure):

• export CFLAGS='-std=c99'
• export CPPFLAGS='-D_BSD_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE'

• Related to source code:
1. To use "strcasecmp" (libnm-util/crypto.c), should include <strings.h>. (see "man strcasecmp")
2. To use "struct ether_addr" (libnm-util/nm-setting-wireless.c), should include <net/ethernet.h>. (see "man ether_aton_r")

> Apply "fix-headers.patch" in attachment will fix missed headers.

• Related to source code but has been fixed in master:

In src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-dhclient.c, log_domain may have an undefined value.

• Related to libnl:

> If the compiler tells you "/usr/include/netlink/object.h:58: error: inline function ‘nl_object_priv’ declared but never defined", then need to replace "extern inline void *  nl_object_priv(struct nl_object *obj);" in object.h with the following (according to newer version of libnl):
> > static inline void *            nl_object_priv(struct nl_object *obj)
> > {
> >         return obj;
> > }
