Try this, another member suggested it for me.

Change the file lib/osdefs.h to have the following (because my install

complained that socklen_t and snprintf were already defined):

Line 21:

typedef int hobbit_socklen_t;

Line 25:

extern int hobbit_snprintf(char *str, size_t size, const char *format,

...);

Hobbit folk:

I am trying to compile the client on AIX 5.2 and I get this...

make

CC="/usr/local/bin/gcc" CFLAGS="-O -D_REENTRANT -DAIX -I. -Ipwd/include -DCLIENTONLY=1" OSDEF="-DAIX" RPATHOPT="" PCREINCDIR="" SSLFLAGS="" SSLINCDIR="" SSLLIBS="" NETLIBS="" BBTOPDIR="/opt/hobbit" BBLOGDIR="" BBHOSTNAME="" BBHOSTIP="199.228.93.24" BBHOSTOS="" make -C lib client

Is there a "cheap fix" for this?
