Unable to Compile Argus on Solaris 10

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Neal,
The current version of Argus is 3.0.6.x.  Please grab the stable versions from http://qosient.com/argus
and see if that doesn't compile.  I haven't personally had a Solaris machine in a number of years, so
if we can't compile, it won't be but a minor change to get it there.

If Solaris doesn't provide a defintion for u_int8_t, then we'll need to add some form of definition
in either ./include/argus_os.h or ./include/argus_compat.h, preferably argus_compat.h.
There are #ifdefs for ARGUS_SOLARIS, which is defined in the ./compat scripts.

Add these to one of your files, and see if that works for you.

typedef unsigned char           u_int8_t;
typedef unsigned short          u_int16_t;
typedef unsigned int            u_int32_t;
typedef unsigned long long      u_int64_t;


If so, I'll add them to the argus-3.0.7.x code base, which is also available on the web site.
