llvm dev - Aug 2004 - [LLVMdev] Type uint64_t required but not found

Reid,

When configuring LLVM I get this error:
-----------------
checking for uint64_t... no
configure: error: Type uint64_t required but not found
-----------------

However, this type exists as u_int64_t in /usr/include/types.h.

The easy way for me is to edit types.h, but I think the right thing is to 
somehow to test for it on Interix platform.

Any thoughts?

/Henrik

Well, if it doesn't break anything else, I'd fix the header file. The
standard type name is supposed to uint64_t not u_int64_t. I would just
change the header file to define both of them, something like:

typedef u_int64_t uint64_t;

You could do that in /usr/include/types.h, or we could add it to a
header file in llvm/include/Config, ifdef'd for Interix.

I think that we should add a check for u_int64_t and do a typedef in 
llvm/include/Config (or something similar).  I don't think we can expect 
Interix users to correct their header files (especially since the next 
Interix upgrade will just unfix it again).
