*********  NETATALK 1.3.3   BUG   REPORT  *************************


Subject:  Netatalk won't compile on my machine!
	  Apparently this has to do with cross-platform variations 
	  in the structures defined in some of the 3 (three!) 
	  dirent.h files which reside in the linux source tree...

Environment: 
	Using Netatalk-1.3.3 on a Pentium II running Linux 2.0.29.
	Installed from Slackware 3.2

Description:
	I was unable to compile the source with the "make"
	command.  I isolated the problem to the afpd program compilation
	specifically unix.c and enumerate.c both reported the following
	error: (for example)

  ...
  enumerate.c: In function `afp_enumerate':
  enumerate.c:171: structure has no member named `d_namlen'
  enumerate.c:173: structure has no member named `d_namlen'
  enumerate.c:186: structure has no member named `d_namlen'
  enumerate.c:187: structure has no member named `d_namlen'
  ...



Repeat-By:
	<get netatalk by ftp... >
	# cd /usr/src
	# cp /tmp/netatalk-1.3.3.tgz  .
	# gzip -d *.tgz
	# tar -xvf *.tar  
	# cd net*
	# make
	<much output, Error, make fails >

Fix:
	After finding a similar line as a compiler option in one of the 
	dirent.h files (/usr/include/dirent.h,  __USE_GNU), I added
	the following line to each of unix.c and enumerate.c in the 
	.../netatalk-1.3.3/etc/afpd directory:

	#define d_namlen     d_reclen

	This fixed the problem, and subsequently, 
	# make; make install
	ran from the /usr/src/netatlk-1.3.3 directory as expected
	and the resulting executables (in  /usr/local/atalk/etc)
	worked fine.
