Subject: "make test" fails on alpha.
I'm the maintainer of Crypt::Rijndael at Debian (www.debian.org) according with Andreas U. Trottmann the 'make test' fails on alpha. For full information, you can see: bugs.debian.org/156779 Show quoted text

[guest - Thu Aug 15 09:49:39 2002]: In the meantime I had time to look further into the problem. It *seems* that it is a very "easy" problem to fix: The file rijndael.h in the source contains the line typedef unsigned long UINT32; This is wrong on alpha; it causes everything that is declared UINT32 in _rijndael.c to be of a 64 bit type. Changing it to typedef unsigned int UINT32; and recompiling the module makes it pass "make test", and also further encrypting/decrypting tests seem to be fine. Note that I'm no cryptoanalyst, and I do not know the Rijndael algorithm at all - but the fix looks "easy" and correct enough. Of course, to be really portable, you would need something different, which would define UINT32 depending on the architecture - but I think that at least all the architectures supported by Debian have an "unsigned int" type of 32 bits. -- Andreas Trottmann <andreas.trottmann@werft22.com>
