dovecot - Apr 2003 - Using on AIX

Hi,

I'm trying to install dovecot-0.99.9-test6 with gcc-3.2.2 under AIX (4.3.3)
and
found some problems.

First, I need to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED to 1 in src/lib/fdpass.c
and src/auth/mycrypt.c or undefine it to compile successfully.

When I define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED to 1, I get the following error
while connecting:

dovecot: Apr 21 17:56:44 Info: Dovecot starting up
imap-login: Apr 21 17:57:19 Fatal: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file number
dovecot: Apr 21 17:57:19 Error: child 39504 (login) returned error 89

This happens after a successful authentication (i.e. wrong authentications are
correctly denied).
Something similar happens if I define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 in both
files.

When I undefine the _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDEDs without modifying the
original _XOPEN_SOURCE defines, it seems to come further:

imap-login: Apr 21 18:24:23 Info: Login: xxx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
imap(xxx): Apr 21 18:24:23 Panic: file mail-index-data.c: line 439
(mail_index_data_append): assertion failed: ((size & (MEM_ALIGN_SIZE-1)) ==
0)
dovecot: Apr 21 18:24:23 Error: child 95800 (imap) killed with signal 6

but this doesn't work either.


Anything other I could try?




Thanks,
Adam

I guess leaving it 1 for mycrypt.c is fine. Does AIX have some "AIX"
macro defined? So I could change fdpass.c to have:

#ifndef AIX
#  define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED /* for Tru64, breaks AIX */
#endif

Hmm.. This is quite likely because struct mail_index_data_record_header
isn't padded to take 8 bytes with 32bit off_t. Has all systems until now
really had 64bit off_t? This should fix it:

But I'm not sure if I want to commit this change. Maybe some systems
have added the padding elsewhere? Changing the location could break
things. After next release I'll break the index files anyway, I think
I'll leave this fix until then.
