Subject: libevent-dev: event.h does not include <sys/types.h> but depends on it.
Package: libevent-dev
Version: 1.3e-3
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Consider the following program:
#include <event.h>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}
Compiling this yields:
gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\"
-DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"foobar\"
-DVERSION=\"2.7.0\" -DHAVE_LIBEVENT=1 -I. -I../../src -g -O2 -MT

make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1
The problem is that event.h uses u_char, which is defined in
<sys/types.h>, however, event.h does not include the appropriate header
file. Including <sys/types.h> fixes the problem.
