ratproxy.c:1635: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of `waitpid'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I compiled ratproxy using Cygwin following this guideline: 
http://www.butterdev.com/web-security/2008/07/google-ratproxy-web-application-se
curity-audit-tool/
When I ran Make with flag -Wno-pointer-sign removed I got this error
cc ratproxy.c -o ratproxy  -Wall -O3  -D_GNU_SOURCE http.c mime.c ssl.c 
-lcrypto -lssl
ratproxy.c: In function `listen_loop':
ratproxy.c:1635: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of `waitpid'
Makefile:29: recipe for target `ratproxy' failed
make: *** [ratproxy] Error 1

Am I missing any library? 
Thanks

fanronal...
How do you solve the compiler incompatible waitpid problem?
Best regards

I switched from Windows to Mac OSX Lion at work so I'm no longer having this 
issue.

I switched to using VM - Back Track 5 --> it's already included ;)

I have the same problem. Is there a way to solve it?

I have the same problem - the end of my make is:

config.h:209:3: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness
Makefile:29: recipe for target `ratproxy' failed
make: *** [ratproxy] Error 1

Ideas to resolve will be MOST appreciated!

I am preparing for a SANS-642 class where the chaining of Ratproxy and Burp are 
discussed; but I am having the same issue when I try to compile Ratproxy 
through Cygwin.  I would like to stick with the Windows environment since that 
will mirror what is used in class.  Here is the complete error:

$ make
cc ratproxy.c -o ratproxy  -Wall -O3 -D_GNU_SOURCE http.c mime.c ssl.c -lcrypto 
-lssl
ratproxy.c: In function `listen_loop':
ratproxy.c:1635: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of `waitpid'
Makefile:29: recipe for target `ratproxy' failed
make: *** [ratproxy] Error 1

A couple of things I have tried during the day; but I'm still stuck with the 
same error.  First I tried compiling on a WinXP system thinking it may be an 
issue with Windows 7...same error.  Then I downloaded a deprecated, older 
version of ratproxy (V.1.53 rather than the latest V.1.58) but I still have the 
same problem.

I commented out Line 1635 in ratproxy.c for the waitpid problem, as I don't 
think that would cause any isssues.
Replace -->     while (waitpid(-1,&x,WNOHANG) > 0);
With    -->  /* while (waitpid(-1,&x,WNOHANG) > 0); */

This solved the issue for me, and now I'm able to use ratproxy with no issues.

However, solution to RESOLVE this would be most appreciated !!

in ratproxy.c replace line: while (waitpid(-1,&x,WNOHANG) > 0);
with line: while (waitpid(-1,(int*)&x,WNOHANG) > 0);

Good luck !

in ratproxy.c replace line: while (waitpid(-1,&x,WNOHANG) > 0);
with line: while (waitpid(-1,(int*)&x,WNOHANG) > 0);

This solved the issue
