OK, so nowadays it does want a socklen_t for the last argument.

That's the old format that Exim was trying to be compatible with.

Hmm. It wants socklen_t (according to the man page), and then it doesn't
recognize socklen_t. That's some kind of screw up in the include files.

Presumably, on your system, the definition of socklen_t is some include
file that is not the same as on other systems. On Linux, for example, it
seems to be in /usr/include/unistd.h, whereas on Solaris it seems to be
in /usr/include/sys/socket.h. Both of these are #included by Exim.

So I guess you need to find where this is in Tru64. However, your man
page just says sys/socket.h, so I'm not sure what is actually going on.


Perhaps it is worth trying a completely fresh start. Get a new Exim
tarball, delete the line

#define EXIM_SOCKLEN_T    size_t


from the file OS/os.h-OSF1, and then try "make" (after setting up
Local/Makefile, of course).
