Re: nscd fails to build

[Manolis Ragkousis]

First of all we get the error  that Ludo sent in the previous message
if we leave nscd enabled.

Now the problem is in nscd/connection.c at struct database_dyn dbs[lastdb].

The macro PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_INITIALIZER_NP is used,
but it's nowhere to be found in libpthread as one would expect.
Normally there should be a definition in
libpthread/include/pthread/pthread.h as is the case of
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER.

Should PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_INITIALIZER_NP be replaced
with __PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER which is already declared? If I do
this, there is no error.

Second question, can nscd be enabled with hurd in the first place?
Because even when I replace the macro, I get the message

check_pf.c can be found in ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c and
./inet/check_pf.c so I shouldn't be getting that error message.

And lastly , Samuel please push the patch Ludovic sent here
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2014-06/msg00108.html
about nscd in the tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker branch. It removes
conflicting ‘thread_info_t’ declaration between nscd and Mach.

Thank you for your time.
