RPC programming problem

kopernic · 03-14-2003, 09:20 AM

When i want to build any file using rpc header files my gcc hugest bunch of errors. Why?

"
cc -c -o prog.o prog.c
In file included from prog.c:4:
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rusers.h:28: parse error before '.' token
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rusers.h:30: parse error before '}' token
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rusers.h:76: parse error before '.' token
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rusers.h:88: field `ui_utmp' has incomplete type
"

There is no code in prog.c except main() and #include...

and i think rusers.h is in alright :/

What's wrong ??

It looks like you have the word ut_time #defined somewhere else?
do you have any other #includes in your program before rusers.h?

whole program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <utmp.h>
#include <rpcsvc/rusers.h>

main(void)
{
}

Maybe "RPC problem" is too scary title...

Just problem with headers...

try this...

#define _NO_UT_TIME
#include <stdio.h>
.
.
.

Ok, thx, it works. Now i need a little explain...

What's with this (f..n) time ??
and how it is connected to some ')' and '.' in code ??

read the bit in /usr/include/bits/utmp.h

in utmp.h there is...
# define ut_time ut_tv.tv_sec

in rusers.h there is...
int ut_time;

if you include utmp.h before rusers.h, it'll be compiled as....
int ut_tv.tvsec;

....which won't compile.

If utmp.h is included before rusers.h
