found problem (and solution) for libproxy slackbuild

The libproxy slackbuild, which is an openconnect dependency, fails with

Code:

/tmp/SBo/libproxy-0.4.7/libproxy/url.cpp:398:37: error: 'read' was not declared in this scope
/tmp/SBo/libproxy-0.4.7/libproxy/url.cpp:423:13: error: 'close' was not declared in this scope
/tmp/SBo/libproxy-0.4.7/libproxy/url.cpp:439:13: error: 'close' was not declared in this scope

The solution is to add this line in libproxy-0.4.7/libproxy/url.cpp (which is in the libproxy-0.4.7.tar.gz file) -

Code:

#Include <unistd.h> //For close(), read()

I don't know how to create a patch but that's what I added manually and the build completed successfully.

Just thought I would share.

Privoxy should still compile fine under 13.37 since the issue you encountered is due to the update to GCC 4.7 in current:

Quote:

Many of the standard C++ library include files have been edited to no longer include <unistd.h> to remove namespace pollution.

There will be a few SlackBuilds which will fail due to this change and the fix will always be inserting

Code:

 #include <unistd.h>

You can read a bit more about it at Porting to GCC 4.7.
