Summary0005688: unable to build merchant due to includes (or getaddrinfo(3)?)
DescriptionSimilar to the bug I reported earlier for exchange, merchant has includes in global style which
I am pretty sure should be local style. This was fixed as soon as I build with exchange. So works as intended but undocumented?

I'm still in the orientation phase wrt Taler source code layout and connection, so I will refrain from
fixing the reported bug.

Now the real bug I hit on NetBSD/amd64:

Making all in src
Making all in include

So the closest I can find is in <netdb.h>, but that's not enough.
I can't even find this in the compatibility header file which comes
with postgresql-server in postgresql/server/getaddrinfo.h

But still no positive match. Surprisingly include/php/main/php_config.h
has a match, but it's #undef for me.

So since I assume this is just integers (I'm writing this bug report from memory
of what I've done this morning), is this AI_IDN only defined on some Linux platforms?

It seems so, because `man 3 getaddrinfo` on my Debian system includes:

...
Extensions to getaddrinfo() for Internationalized Domain Names
       Starting with glibc 2.3.4, getaddrinfo() has been extended to selecā€
       tively allow the incoming and outgoing hostnames to be transparently
       converted to and from the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) format
       (see RFC 3490, Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications
       (IDNA)). Four new flags are defined:

       AI_IDN If this flag is specified, then the node name given in node is
              converted to IDN format if necessary. The source encoding is
              that of the current locale.

              If the input name contains non-ASCII characters, then the IDN
              encoding is used. Those parts of the node name (delimited by
              dots) that contain non-ASCII characters are encoded using
              ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) before being passed to the
              name resolution functions.
...


I presume the best way to resolve this is by checking in taler-merchant-httpd.c
or wherever it came from if we have a glibc >= 2.3.4 and set the value of
hints.ai_flags accordingly.
Actually maybe even a check for the underlying OS because I also have glibc (available, but limitations might apply and it is not the native one).
Updating in a bit with more details.

good enough or did I miss anything obvious?
It compiles to the point where I hit errors with texinfo which I'll be fixing now,
ie it gets past the original error but I'm not sure if it's enough.

medfly in #NetBSD suggests that

#ifndef AI_IDN #define AI_IDN 0 #endif

would be enough, but I'd like to have a final call by someone with more knowledge of parts of merchant
(I started reading it just this morning)
