Unknown type name 'uint'

For Developers
1

Whilst trying to build w_scan, I've managed to download it and run ./configure, but I get stuck running make with:-

In file included from scan.c:60:0:
version.h:4:1: error: unknown type name 'uint'
 uint version=20170107;
 ^
make[1]: *** [Makefile:422: scan.o] Error 1

Looks like I need to install some headers... anyone know which?

Is that better?

Basic rule is "one thread per topic", responding on the apparent task at hand on

also Grep that handles long lines

I would manually change uint to unsigned int. It is only used in:

8:Makefile.add
839:Makefile.in
148:descriptors.c
149:descriptors.c
152:dump-vlc-m3u.c
4:version.h

Maybe you could add some typedef in a global header of the project. It is weird it seems uint is nonstandard type.

Thanks for the suggestion but that only leads to the next problem...

descriptors.h:305:9: error: unknown type name 'time_t'

It may be included in time.h. But it seems there will be probably more problems with the program. The webpage says "w_scan is currently no longer being developed.". Maybe there are some replacements?

w_scan is the only scanning type program I'm aware of that does not require an initial channel file:-

I did eventually manage to get it built on Arch Linux.
