In trying to write tests for nts_client.c I have run into a problem I do
not know how to solve, as it involved much of the structure of the
codebase as well as the build system.
Some of the code in nts_client.c calls the dns_take* series of
functions. These functions are defined in ntp_proto.c.
nts_client.c is listed in the build system as part of the libntpd_obj
target. ntp_proto.c is in the ntpd target.
When ntpd is built this works because ntp_proto.c in being built, but
when the tests are built it is not, and the build fails as a result.
I have tried to move ntp_proto.c to the libntpd_obj target, with the
expected result of multiple failures where the code calls other stuff
that is part of ntpd. After looking at the code I can't just move the
relevant functions themselves, as they too call into files in ntpd. And
I do not know the architecture at this level to a sufficient depth to do
the kind of surgery that would require anyway.
