Subject: Compile-time error for function gettimeofday in file mod_usertrack.c

Greetings again,

The following compile-time error occurred while I was compiling Apache:


          cc -c -Iregex  -O2 -DSVR4 -DSTATUS   mod_headers.c
          cc -c -Iregex  -O2 -DSVR4 -DSTATUS   mod_usertrack.c
  mod_usertrack.c: In function `make_cookie':
  mod_usertrack.c:134: too many arguments to function `gettimeofday'
  *** Error code 1 (bu21)
  current working directory is: =
/home/rkdash/apache_1_2b2/apache_1.2b2/src

  make: fatal error.


The output of uname -a is:

  UNIX_System_V beauty 4.0 R40V4.4 m88k mc88100


I am in fact completely unfamiliar with this version of Unix. I'm trying
to do a port of Apache to this machine to see if it'll work. Do you have
any suggestions? I do not HAVE TO use this OS, but if you have any ideas
on how to get around the compile-time error, it would be much
appreciated.

A portion of /usr/include/sys/time.h follows:

  #if !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE)
  struct timeval {
        time_t  tv_sec;         /* seconds */
        long    tv_usec;        /* and microseconds */
  };

  struct timezone {
        int     tz_minuteswest; /* minutes west of Greenwich */
        int     tz_dsttime;     /* type of dst correction */
  };

I sent you an message earlier today stating that I had to set
WANTHSREGEX to "yes" for my OS. Maybe this caused the "gettimeofday"
error?

Turns out that although the man page on his system shows the two
arguments here is what is in his <sys/time.h> file so __BSD__ isn't set.

#ifdef __BSD__
int gettimeofday(struct timeval *, struct timezone *);
int settimeofday(const struct timeval *, const struct timezone *);
#else
int (gettimeofday)(struct timeval *);
int (settimeofday)(const struct timeval *);
#endif /* __BSD__ */
