Could  you try the attached patch?
We use a construct thjat is not valid for all compiler.

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from 2.4.2 (which is running perfectly), but having trouble compiling the new 2.5.0 release and got an error during the make:

--------

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../config -I../common-src -I../common-src -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2 -MT calcsize.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/calcsize.Tpo" -c -o calcsize.o calcsize.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/calcsize.Tpo" ".deps/calcsize.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/calcsize.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

calcsize.c: In function `traverse_dirs':
calcsize.c:335: parse error before `char'
calcsize.c:342: `aparent' undeclared (first use in this function)
calcsize.c:342: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
calcsize.c:342: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [calcsize.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/amanda/amanda-2.5.0/client-src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
---------

Platform is RedHat 2.1AS, kernel 2.4.9-e.65. Anyone got any ideas?


Cheers,

Rich.
