Hi, running into a bit of an issue....O/S is AIX 7.1 using GCC:

Can swear I've seen this before but - don't recall, and didn't want to mess with the source code. Thought it best to file a bug report instead.

Anything I can provide to help please let me know.

Thanks,
Mark

I have the same issue

any comments to help resolve?

I'm guessing that label_t would have to be renamed.

Can you try pull request #1392?

[mascarasnake66]

Hi, very sorry for the late reply, I have had little time to revisit.

As ddpbsd pointed out, manually renaming "label_t" to "label" in src/os_auth/check_cert.h worked. Looks like:

typedef struct label {
char text[DNS_MAX_LABEL_LEN + 1];
size_t len;
}
label;

I have not looked at #1392 yet, I shall when I have time. It may be just be the same edit provided earlier.

Thanks for the help.

[mascarasnake66]

OK looks like the resolution is in #1392 - thanks to all.
