[DSE-Dev] Bug#750331: setools: Patch for 'setools: FTBFS: replcon.cc:73:25: error: invalid operands...'

[Andreas Florath]

Package: setools
Version: 3.3.8-3
Tags: patch
Followup-For: Bug #750331

Hello!

I was able to reproduce this on amd64.

Attached you can find a patch that fixes the problem:
The cause for this was, that at one point the prototype
for 'lsetfilecon_raw' was wrong.

Header: int lsetfilecon_raw(const char *, const char *)
  defined as 'extern "C"'

replcon.cc: int lsetfilecon_raw(const char *, security_context_t)

Therefore the later one was treated as a C++ symbol - which
cannot be compared to NULL.  I tested this with a minimalistic
prototype implementation: the correct function is picked up.

The patch is against the current HEAD of the master from
git://anonscm.debian.org/selinux/setools.git
commit a3ab84b35efd9c42641d53ec2236ad01f7411df7

Kind regards

Andre
