NetworkManager fails to build

[Pierre Labastie]

I do not know exactly whether it comes from the new GnuTLS version or gcc-4.7, but NetworkManager does not build and ends up with the error:

crypto_gnutls.c: In function 'crypto_verify_cert':
crypto_gnutls.c:354:2: error: 'gnutls_datum' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/gnutls/gnutls.h:716) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
crypto_gnutls.c: In function 'crypto_verify_pkcs12':
crypto_gnutls.c:394:2: error: 'gnutls_datum' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/gnutls/gnutls.h:716) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

[...]

The following sed allows to build:

sed -i 's/gnutls_datum /gnutls_datum_t /' libnm-util/crypto_gnutls.c

Be sure to include the spaces before the 2nd and 3rd /

Hm, I encountered some problems with GnuTLS too. I switched to NSS for my builds. It builds cleanly and api does not change that often. Will switch instructions over to NSS. Looks like GnuTLS crypto stuff isn't maintaned that much.

Switched from GnuTLS to NSS in r10199
