I don't think we should run into trouble... The crypt() of the standard library
and the crypt() of the des-code must however give the same result, so it
should not be important which version (openssl or system) you are using.
I have just performed the following test:
- changed des.h (openssl 0.9.6) to
char *crypt(char *buf,char *salt);
(removed the "const" keywords, that made it compatible with my unistd.h)
- Created small test program (for compile only :-)
ws01 72: cat test.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <des.h>
int main()
{
return 0;
}
- Then run gcc:
ws01 70: gcc -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Wall -Wshadow -I. -I/usr/local/ssl/include test.c
In file included from test.c:2:
des.h:193: conflicting types for `crypt'
/usr/include/sys/unistd.h:232: previous declaration of `crypt'
- This problem does not appear with the normal incarnation of des.h, as
in unistd.h:193:
extern char *crypt(const char *, const char *);
My platform is HP-UX 10.20, BTW. Can you reproduce your problem this way?

As you have commented out the prototype in des.h, but the one in unistd.h
is still available (and both crypt() functions should behave similar) you
should not see any problems.
Best regards,
