fail to compile on AlpineLinux about etherate

[jwbensley]

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'll check it out when I get some time. This might not be fixable, due to the vast number of Linux distro's fixing this for Alpine might break it for Ubuntu for example. I personally am only interested in running Etherate on Ubuntu and CentOS (happy to make a new branch and someone can submit a pull request though!). I'll see if there is a fix that doesn't hinder Ubunt and CentOS compiling and update when I know more.

Thanks for your reply. I think Etherate would be a nice tool to have for Alpine Linux.

I had every intention of fixing this issue :)

I will update the INSTALL documentation, I have it compiling now by using the following steps:

apk add gcc automake autoconf libtool m4 alpine-sdk linux-headers

Then either:

./configure.sh
make

Or:

gcc -o etherate etherate.c -Wall -Werror -ftrapv -pedantic -lrt -lm -std=gnu11 -O3

Hello, thanks for your answer.
FYI, i closed this ticket because i switched to VoidLinux. Compilation worked on VoidLinux (Glibc version) but i have not done yet all tests.

This is fixed version 1.17 (2018-04) - I have updated the INSTALL file for any future users of Alpine with the install requirements.
