Hi Phil,
To compile your test code on a RedHat 6.0 Linux box I needed to use,
gcc -Wall prog.c -lcrypt
on the file,
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef I_CRYPT
#include <crypt.h>
#endif
#ifdef I_UNISTD
#include <unistd.h>
#endif
#define __USE_XOPEN 1
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("%s\n", crypt("MySecret", "az"));
return 0;
}
Without the two added lines the file would only complite with implicit
declartion of funtion 'crypt' warnings.
I'm sure how on this box to tell if unistd.h is suitable without
first inculding the unistd.h file. If you wanna borrow a login to this
box (only my desktop ;-)) for a short while you are welcome...
Cheers,
aid
