I just put up hashcash-1.03pr6 in current which is supposed to fix the
getopt bug and all of the code & document bugs Atom found in the last
few days.
http://www.hashcash.org/source/current/hashcash-1.03/
It turns out that the getopt issue must arise enough that this gnu
getopt code I included in the distribution for systems without getopt
already knows how to disable itself on gnu systems to avoid redundant
with the system libs. It seems to use this:
| /* Comment out all this code if we are using the GNU C Library, and are not
| actually compiling the library itself. This code is part of the GNU C
| Library, but also included in many other GNU distributions. Compiling
| and linking in this code is a waste when using the GNU C library
| (especially if it is a shared library). Rather than having every GNU
| program understand `configure --with-gnu-libc' and omit the object files,
| it is simpler to just do this in the source for each such file. */
|
| #if defined (_LIBC) || !defined (__GNU_LIBRARY__)
but I do not have a non GNU system to test on ... so let me know
OSX/BSD-wise. I think as good a test as any is if you can mint like
this:
./hashcash -mXb10 foo
(ie without giving -r which I think was one of the problems Atom
reported that would have failed on BSD due to non GNU getopt).
Remaining issue from CHANGELOG to release this as 1.04:
* one remaining issue to fix in pr7: time the right thing in
hashcash_per_sec -- we're still calling find_collision(
... step = 100 ) and we need to call the CHROMATIX code
somehow.
