OK, here's the problem I've been leaving and coming back to for the past few weeks.
When running configure for stunnel-4.04 I get the following error message:
checking size of unsigned char... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (unsigned char), 77
$
Now when I run configure for stunnel-3.22 it works ('yes' where the error message is in the former line and about 5-10 more sizeof checks until the end of the script.)
Alright, so, let's see what the difference is in the sizeof ( unsigned char a); code GNU autoconf throws at gcc is in each case, shall we?
As far as I can tell (search string on unsigned char), all the test programs using unsigned chars are _EXACTLY_ identical, and there are the exact same number of each.
Now while it's possible to install without running configure (if extremely unpleasant), if this was just a common error where that was the workaround and not an indicator of something nasty there would be some note of it appearing somewhere in google - right?
Hint: there isn't. Not a damned thing as far as I can tell.
I'm getting pissed and/or worried about this one. Any advice?
