Done! Please see patch attached.

Thank you. It's committed in r17535. I credited you as "rebellis"; is
that all right?

rebellis is just perfect! thank you :)

I'm looking for tasks like that to get my programming skills in shape
again. I have good knowledge of C++ (and C to a lesser extent) but no
previous experience in network programming. I thought I could learn a
bit by helping Nmap's development. Any hints on where to begin? :)

Here's a link with some ideas.

Thanks. I just read all emails linked to this thread. I also checked
the FIXME and TODO tags in Nmap's source code and the developers' todo
list as well. Hope I can find something to work on.

Now regarding the link errors. Revision 17520 aborts compilation with
the linking shown below. Please notice I can successfully compile Nmap
5.21. I'm using Arch Linux x86_64, gcc 4.5.0 and GNU Make 3.81. The
complete make output goes attached. Thanks in advance.

Does this persist after a "make distclean" or a fresh checkout?

Maybe you can pinpoint where this started happening. I would test r17350
and r17351, because r17351 changed how libpcap is linked. Do
       svn update -r 17350
       svn update -r 17351

Same problem. When Nmap's is linked with -lpcap everything works fine.
However when the code is static linked with libpcap/libpcap.a the
building process fails. It looks like it's a problem with libpcap on
x86_64 architectures according to this bug report:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/312895. I'm working on a fix right now. I'll
let you know as soon as I have something to show.

Regards,

Any progress with the fix? Latest version of svn Nmap doesn't compile on
x86_64 systems.

Yes, I posted a patch at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2010/q2/606 but
nobody reported success or failure. Does it work for you?
