I'm trying to compile mtxorbd-1.0.2 on SuSE 7.3 and i get the following error message

system> make all
g++    -c -o action.o action.cpp
g++    -c -o protocol.o protocol.cpp
g++    -c -o device.o device.cpp
g++    -c -o mtxtype.o mtxtype.cpp
g++    -c -o connection.o connection.cpp
g++    -c -o connectionMgr.o
connectionMgr.cpp
connectionMgr.cpp: In method `int connectionMgr::InitializeEphemeril(char *)':
connectionMgr.cpp:75: `struct sockaddr_un' has no member named `sun_len'
make: *** [connectionMgr.o] Error 1

Any suggestions ?
thanks

I believe that linux names their variables differently in the unix socket structure.  I never really compiled this on linux only FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  Linux actually doesn't require the sun_len variable, so go ahead and just comment out that line and it'll work fine.  I'll do a patch with switches to detect if it's needed.

Thanks for the advice, i commented out anything related  to sun_len and it compiled properly, the client cmdline.cpp also contains sun_len links.

-----File connetionMgr.cpp--- Line 67 - 90
int connectionMgr::InitializeEphemeril(char *dev)
{
    //struct sockaddr_un sun;

    m_sock = socket(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (m_sock < 0)
        return -1;

    //sun.sun_len = sizeof(sun);
    //sun.sun_family = AF_LOCAL;
    //strcpy(sun.sun_path, dev);

    //if (bind(m_sock, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun))<0)
    //    return -1;

    if (listen(m_sock, 5))
        return -1;
}

int connectionMgr::Run()
{
    int blah;
    //struct sockaddr_un sun;
    //unsigned int size = sizeof(sun);
---------------------------------------

------File cmdline.cpp---- Line 53 - 70
int CreateConnection(char *device)
{
    //struct sockaddr_un sun;
    int sock;

    //sun.sun_len = sizeof(sun);
    //sun.sun_family = AF_LOCAL;
    //strcpy(sun.sun_path, device);

    sock = socket(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sock < 0)
        return -1;

    //if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&sun, sizeof(sun))<0)
    //    return -1;

    return sock;
}

oh no no no, if you comment out ALL of that, then it won't open the socket correctly for communication.

You just need to comment out this line:

//sun.sun_len = sizeof(sun);

Everything else should be in the program so it properly opens the UNIX Domain Socket
