Compile Error

[Mikail Dellovich]

I am on a Solaris 10 6/06 SPARC machine. I tried to compile sound player
app for Asterisk and got the following error:

Can someone provide an explanation or work around? Thanks!

Did you include stdint.h?

I suppose the problem is that the compiler could not find a definition of
the u_int16_t type. A workaround would be to add an appropriate definition
of u_int16_t before the usage. As far as I know, Solaris defines the
uint16_t type (notice the missing underscore between after 'u'). So adding
the following lines before the definition of struct ast_option_header
might help:

#include <stdint.h>

typedef uint8_t u_int8_t;
typedef uint16_t u_int16_t;

You should bracket the definitions with a platform-specific
#ifdef / #endif

Posting to a Solaris specific programming group might help as well.

stdint.h will not (should not) help with u_int16_t, because
that's not a standard name. I bet you're thinking of uint16_t.
