I'm trying to compile dropbear for windows before I compiled it but now that I try to recompile it and format my previous pc, install cygwin and what is necessary but when I execute the make command, it throws me that error. but I do not understand why it says that it is not declared if it is clearly seen there, I would appreciate your help.
ERROR: "packet.c: In function 'write_packet':
packet.c:98:2: error: 'writebuf' undeclared (first use in this function)
writebuf = (buffer*)examine(&ses.writequeue);"
CODE:
#ifdef HAVE_WRITEV
/* 50 is somewhat arbitrary */
unsigned int iov_count = 50;
struct iovec iov[50];
#else
int len;
buffer* writebuf;
int packet_type;
#endif
TRACE2(("enter write_packet"))
dropbear_assert(!isempty(&ses.writequeue));
#if defined(HAVE_WRITEV) && (defined(IOV_MAX) || defined(UIO_MAXIOV))
packet_queue_to_iovec(&ses.writequeue, iov, &iov_count);
/* This may return EAGAIN. The main loop sometimes
calls write_packet() without bothering to test with select() since
it's likely to be necessary */
written = writev(ses.sock_out, iov, iov_count);
if (written < 0) {
if (errno == EINTR || errno == EAGAIN) {
TRACE2(("leave write_packet: EINTR"))
return;
} else {
dropbear_exit("Error writing: %s", strerror(errno));
}
}
packet_queue_consume(&ses.writequeue, written);
ses.writequeue_len -= written;
if (written == 0) {
ses.remoteclosed();
}
#else /* No writev () */
/* Get the next buffer in the queue of encrypted packets to write*/
writebuf = (buffer*)examine(&ses.writequeue);
/* The last byte of the buffer is not to be transmitted, but is
* a cleartext packet_type indicator */
packet_type = writebuf->data[writebuf->len-1];
len = writebuf->len - 1 - writebuf->pos;
TRACE2(("write_packet type %d len %d/%d", packet_type,
len, writebuf->len-1))
dropbear_assert(len > 0);
The problem seems due that the definition protected by a single check
#ifdef HAVE_WRITEV
while the usage is behind a multiple check
#if defined(HAVE_WRITEV) && (defined(IOV_MAX) || defined(UIO_MAXIOV))
HAVE_WRITEV
is defined in config.h on cygwin, so the definition is skipped but the check for usage fails and writebuf
is used.
It seems a upstream bug.
