Thread: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

2 part question here:


first of all:

Code:

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>

char *cryptedpass = malloc(50);
cryptedpass = crypt(cryptedpass, salt)

i get the warning msg shown at the subject for this. can anyone explain it means. the second question is how come crypt doesnt work. gcc linker says that its not in unistd.h but the man page disagrees. help?

ah, figured this one out myself...the whole problem is that the crypt library was not properly included in compiling so the compiler assumend that the function crypt returned an integer and not a char*.
