rsync - Oct 2004 - [Bug 1893] New: Interix fails build due to makedev() as wrong macro name

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1893

           Summary: Interix fails build due to makedev() as wrong macro name
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: tv@duh.org
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


Under Interix (Windows Services for Unix), the build of rsync fails at link
because flist.c is calling makedev(), which is actually named mkdev() on
Interix.

To make rsync compatible with this, I suggest the following change (similar to
what pkgsrc.org uses at the moment to make rsync work on Interix).

--- rsync.h.orig
+++ rsync.h

 #if MAJOR_IN_MKDEV

+# if !defined(makedev) && defined(mkdev)
+#  define makedev mkdev
+# endif
 #elif MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS
 #include <sys/sysmacros.h>
 #endif
