Unable to Compile Argus on Solaris 10

[Welland, Neal]

Hi,

We are trying to build argus v.3.0.4 on a Solaris 10 (10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a X86) server, but it fails.
We followed the instructions in the INSTALL file, and have the following dependencies installed:

Libpcap = v1.2.1
Bison = v2.5
Flex = v2.5.4
TCPwrappers = 7.6_ipv6.4
Gcc = v4.6.3 (the only compiler available)

./configure seems to execute without error.

Executing make results in:

bash-3.2$ sudo make

After a little googling I see that "u_intX_t" should actually be "uintX_t", as defined in /usr/include/sys/types.h.

Configure seems to check for "uintX_t", so why is the code using the older definitions?

Regards,
