>Description:
keccak.c of digest package has this preprocessor macro:
#define FOR5(X, STMT) do \
{ \
(X) = 0; (STMT); \
(X) = 1; (STMT); \
(X) = 2; (STMT); \
(X) = 3; (STMT); \
(X) = 4; (STMT); \
} while (0)
It results in code that has a gcc-specific syntax and Mipspro won't compile it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build digest on IRIX using Mipspro.
>Fix:
Discussion on Freenode #pkgsrc revealed that this could possibly be worked around by changing the (STMT) on the macro to {STMT} as suggested by Rhialto. I changed the file manually and at least the compiler compiled it and the digest command works now. If further help in testing this on IRIX is needed, I can run tests on the machine.
