failure building argus-client

[Peter Van Epp]

	And there is your problem:

ranlib ../lib/argus_parse.a
gcc -O2 -I. -I../include  -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_FILE_H=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG_H=1 -DHAVE_ETHER_HOSTTON=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1  -c ./gencode.c
./gencode.c:235: error: static declaration of 'ArgusNetMask' follows non-static declaration
../include/argus_parse.h:1522: error: previous declaration of 'ArgusNetMask' was here
make[1]: *** [gencode.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/argus-clients-2.0.6/common'

`	The error in gencode causes the rest of the build to fail. What I don't
immediately know is why since fixes.1 looks to be incorrect too (and is the
oldest I have to hand):

../include/argus_parse.h says:
 
extern unsigned int ArgusLocalNet, ArgusNetMask;
 
	which is different than 

static u_int ArgusNetMask;

	I'd probably be tempted to add a static to 

../include/argus_parse.h

as in 

extern static unsigned int ArgusNetMask;
extern unsigned int ArgusLocalNet;

to match up the types. I don't know if that will break something else though
as noted 2.0.6.fixes.1 compiles on everything here as is.

	You also may want to try argus-clients.2.0.6.fixes.1.tar.gz 
from ftp:/qosient.com in /dev/argus-2.0 which is a bug fix release of 2.0.6
although there are 4 or 5 more patches that haven't been collected for that
version too. 
	The latest development version is in 

/dev/argus-3.0/argus-clients-3.0.0.rc.24.tar.gz 

although there are patches needed for both server and client to compile at 
present (the client patch was posted to the list, I haven't yet done the same 
for server patch yet, probably later today).
