Compile fails

[yacylover]

Hi,

I'm having an issue compiling onioncat.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -DSTATEDIR=\"/usr/local/var/onioncat\" -Wall -Wextra -O2 -pthread -MT ocattun.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ocattun.Tpo -c -o ocattun.o ocattun.c ocattun.c: In function ‘tun_ipv6_config’: ocattun.c:344:21: error: storage size of ‘ifr6’ isn’t known ocattun.c:344:21: warning: unused variable ‘ifr6’ [-Wunused-variable] make[2]: *** [ocattun.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /home/yacylover/Downloads/onioncat-master/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory /home/yacylover/Downloads/onioncat-master' make: *** [all] Error 2

Can sonmeone help me please?

Can you please add some details.
What OS are your trying to compile this?
Did you use the Package and run ./configure?

[yacylover]

Thank you for fast reply. I'm on OpenSuse Linux 12.1 (x86). Yes I just pulled the code from the repository here. ./configure runs through sucessfully. Unfortunately I'm unable to upgrade to a newer OS because I rely on some old versions of ham radio software

[rahra]

ocattun.c:344:21: error: storage size of ‘ifr6’ isn’t known
This hints at a missing header file.
Try adding #include <linux/ipv6.h> to the file ocattun.c.

[yacylover]

Thank you. Now this error is being thrown:

[rahra]

Well probably there's some looping in the headers on this old system.
Actually this header should already have been included from ocat.h so probably it's now a double include.
It was just a try.
Could you probably post the output of the configure script?

[yacylover]

Ok I just uploaded it to Pastebin

[rahra]

Oh, I didn't mean the content of the configure script but what it outputs if you run it with ./configure.

[yacylover]

Ok here we go:

Additional note: I managed to compile one of the newer tor versions that support the v3 hidden services on this os.

[yacylover]

Is the error occurring in context of my very old Kernel version or are they any other dependencies responsible for the disruption of the compile process? @rahra Could you do me a favour and post a kernel version number where the build process sucessfully ran through?

[rahra]

Sorry for late response. I'm not really sure what is missing but I'm pretty sure that is because of the old system since it compiles fine on most systems that I know of.
Did you download a recent release of OnionCat?
I'm asking because the output of your ./configure differs in many lines compared to what I see on my Linux with the current version of Onioncat.
Actually I think it is some IPv6 definition missing or was rearranged to some other header files compared to your system.
