The argument about POSIX.1-2001 conformance is actually specious, in this case, because the code in question does not use a feature test for it in order to make its "#include" decisions. Basically, my workaround is facetious; it causes the header file that defines the types used in sys/socket.h to be included before sys/socket.h is included. I could have just as easily said "edit the file and add ``#include '' before the include that was failing". This fix was in the KDE 3.1 tree, and has been put in the KDE 3.0 tree as a result of this discussion. If you have older ports code, continue using the workaround, it's harmless. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
