openssh unix dev - Sep 2003 - Problem building OpenSSH on Cobalt Raq2i running standard Linux

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build OpenSSH on my Cobalt Raq2i box which is running the
standard Linux installation with all patches installed.

I had no problems building OpenSSL v0.9.7b and it installed without
problems as well.

However, the OpenSSH build keeps failing at a certain point:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized -I. -I.
-I/usr/local/ssl/include -DSSHDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\"
-D_PATH_SSH_PROGRAM=\"/usr/local/bin/ssh\"
-D_PATH_SSH_ASKPASS_DEFAULT=\"/usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass\"
-D_PATH_SFTP_SERVER=\"/usr/local/libexec/sftp-server\"
-D_PATH_SSH_KEY_SIGN=\"/usr/local/libexec/ssh-keysign\"
-D_PATH_SSH_PIDDIR=\"/var/run\"
-D_PATH_PRIVSEP_CHROOT_DIR=\"/var/empty\"
-DSSH_RAND_HELPER=\"/usr/local/libexec/ssh-rand-helper\"
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-c monitor_fdpass.c
monitor_fdpass.c: In function `mm_send_fd':
monitor_fdpass.c:57: `SCM_RIGHTS' undeclared (first use this function)
monitor_fdpass.c:57: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
monitor_fdpass.c:57: for each function it appears in.) make: ***
[monitor_fdpass.o] Error 1

I'm trying to build v3.7.1p1 at the moment, and I have also tried v3.4p1
as well as several in between releases.

Has anyone else come across this problem? The version of gcc which comes
with Linux for the Raq2's is v2.7.2. I wouldn't expect that the be too
old, but it might be.  If the problem has nothing to do with OpenSSH I'll
need to look elsewhere...

Your headers (and possibly kernel?) appear to be missing the parts
required to do descriptor passing, but have enough to fool configure's
tests.

What are HAVE_SENDMSG, HAVE_ACCRIGHTS_IN_MSGHDR and HAVE_CONTROL_IN_MSGHDR
set to in config.h?

If you comment out "#define HAVE_SENDMSG" from config.h, you should be
able to compile OK (however you'll have to run without
PrivilegeSeparation).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
