I'm not really sure that forcing connections readonly if the user is non-root is a useful thing to be doing anyway, so perhaps this code is better off just being deleted?For the missing uid_t, you could add this to configure.in AC_CHECK_TYPE(mode_t, int) then no need for ifndef around the decl of "uid".
autoconf docs seem to suggest that this usage is deprecated: <quote> -- Macro: AC_CHECK_TYPE (TYPE, DEFAULT) Autoconf, up to 2.13, used to provide this version of `AC_CHECK_TYPE', deprecated because of its flaws. First, although it is a member of the `CHECK' clan, it does more than just checking. Secondly, missing types are defined using `#define', not `typedef', and this can lead to problems in the case of pointer types. </quote>
With this function (and a test for getuid in configure.in), (or maybe that should be "return 0"?) #ifndef HAVE_GETUID static int getuid() { return 1; } #endif /* __MINGW32__ */ you could avoid the remaining ifdefs.
Better just to check for getuid?Having said that I still think it'd be better just to delete this code because forcing non-root Xen connections to be readonly doesn't seem very useful to me.
