Error compiling sncseq-2.0.99 on MacOSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and possible patch (attached)

[<Juan.Guzman@csiro.au>]

Hi,

When compiling the latest release of sncseq (2.0.99) on a MacOSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with EPICS base 3.14.11 the following error appears:
...
3 parsing conflicts.
../snl.re:20: error: redefinition of typedef ‘uint’
../types.h:40: error: previous declaration of ‘uint’ was here
make[3]: *** [lexer.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install.darwin-x86] Error 2
make[1]: *** [snc.install] Error 2
make: *** [src.install] Error 2
...

Digging into the code I found two files (src/snc/snl.re and src/snc/types.h) defining uint as a new type unsigned int. On MacOSX (FreeBSD) that type is already defined in sys/types.h. I attached possible patch files that disable the re-definition of the uint type for Mac platforms. Please check if it is right, since these patch files only work on Mac and linux-x86_64 (debian lenny 64-bit), which are the platforms I can test. I haven't checked other FreeBSD platforms.

Cheers,
  Juan Carlos.
