Hello!

I've been using ktorrent beta1 for some time now, and today I tried to upgrade to RC1, but compilation failed. I'm not the official port maintainer, I just used the original port as a template to create a new port for the beta, and it worked fine. Now I get this error message:

The lines in question that the error message refers to in /usr/include/netinet/ip.h are these:

Code: Select all

   union ipt_timestamp {
      n_long   ipt_time[1];
      struct   ipt_ta {
         struct in_addr ipt_addr;
         n_long ipt_time;
      } ipt_ta[1];
   } ipt_timestamp;
};



I'm not a programmer, so I don't understand what these all mean I'm not impatient either, for I can wait until the port is updated (and beta1 works fine for me), I just thought I'd let you know.

This n_long must be defined in another system header file, now we need to figure out which one. Lets see if google turns something up.

OK, google was quite helpfull, in upnpmcastsocket.cpp, there should be a line at the top of the file which looks like this :

...
#include <netinet/ip.h>
...

What you need to do is put the following line in front of it :
...
#include <netinet/in_systm.h>
#include <netinet/ip.h>
...

I will modify the latest code so it should compile again.

Thank you very much for your reply!

I thought I had "send an email if there are replies to my post" set somewhere, and didn't check back for I thought it went unreplied.

I very much appreciate your answer and your help! Thank you again (for googling up this issue and all your work)!
