Compilation problem and solution on Solaris 2.7

[Jean-Francois Stenuit]

To whoever it may help,

My flavor of Solaris 2.7 was not able to compile rsync 2.5.5 with the
vanilla "./configure; make".

Three functions where missing : inet_ntop, inet_pton, inet_addr

There are replacement inet_ntop and inet_pton in the distribution tree, so
it's easy to change the Makefile and have them compiled and included by a
simple "make". However, the inet_addr is missing on the system, so I had
to write a replacement.

Here is the (very simple) replacement code for inet_addr :

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

unsigned long int inet_addr(const char *cp)
{
        struct in_addr inp;

        if (inet_aton(cp,&inp) == 0) {
                return -1;
        } else {
                return ntohl((unsigned long int)inp.s_addr);
        }
}

Copy this code in a new file named 'inet_addr.c' in the 'lib' directory,
add 'lib/inet_ntop.o lib/inet_pton.o lib/inet_addr.o' in the 'LIBOBJ='
line of the Makefile, and everything will be OK.

Hope this helps,
