[OpenAFS-devel] 1.4.2-beta2 still fails on RHEL3 due to missing krb524 definition

[Derek Atkins]

*sigh*

The 1.4.2-beta2 candidate still fails on RHEL3.  The configure
tests work.  It DOES find the symbol in -lkrb524...  However it
is not properly setting the defines in the afsconfig.h file that
tell the build that it's found the symbol.

The makelog says:

...
checking for krb5_524_convert_creds... no
checking for krb524_convert_creds_kdc... no
checking for krb524_convert_creds_kdc in -lkrb524... yes
...

However, src/config/afsconfig.h is not getting set properly:

[root@vmware-rhel3 openafs-1.4.2-beta2]# grep 524 src/config/afsconfig.h
/* Define if you have the krb5_524_convert_creds function.  */
/* #undef HAVE_KRB5_524_CONVERT_CREDS */
[root@vmware-rhel3 openafs-1.4.2-beta2]#

I'm wondering if the AC_DEFINE() is interacting poorly with the
AC_CHECK_FUNCS() when they both want to define HAVE_KRB524_CONVERT_CREDS_KDC?
I have no idea why HAVE_KRB524_CONVERT_CREDS_KDC isn't even listed
in src/config/afsconfig.h!

I do know that my previous patch that I submitted after 1.4.1
worked.  Yes, it was more complicated, but it did work.  I don't
know why this one isn't working -- I thought I had actually tested
it before.

The build failure I get is:

aklog_main.c:207:2: #error "You must have one of krb5_523_convert_creds or krb524_convert_creds_kdc available"
make[3]: *** [aklog_main.o] Error 1

I also get the warning about the redefinition of ENCRYPT and DECRYPT, but
I'm willing to live with that.

Any ideas?  I'm wondering if it's a problem with the version of autoconf
used to generate the configure script?  The script is still generated
with autoconf 2.13 -- I did my testing with 2.5x.  So.. It's possible
that this is an autoconf bug?  I'll test this theory and get back to you.
