2.1.0 Build failure on Solaris

[dns]

The files _counter.h, Blowfish.c and RIPEMD160.c include stdint.h. This is not available on Solaris 9 and earlier; although inttypes.h appears to be equivalent.

[Darsey Litzenberger (dlitz)]

stdint.h is part of the C99 standard, and provides specific-width types like uint8_t and uint64_t. I don't have Solaris 9 or earlier, so if you want this fixed, I'll need a patch.

[Sebastian Kayser (skayser)]

Dwayne, we are currently packaging pycrypto for Solaris via opencsw.org. The following patch addresses this inclusion issue on Solaris (conditionally includes sys/inttypes.h instead of stdint.h). Other platforms remain unaffected.

Also, in case you could use Solaris platform access, we provide access to our Solaris build environment (Solaris 8/9/10, x86/SPARC) for upstream open source maintainers. Feel free to give us a shout. http://www.opencsw.org/extend-it/signup/to-upstream-maintainers/

Thanks!

I've fixed this in a slightly different way (I prefer to include stdint.h on any system that supports it, and since we now use autoconf, that's pretty straightforward).

Please let me know if that works for you.

Released in PyCrypto 2.4.
