Well, the simple answer would be "Yes, it is easy to compile FreeBSD with that variable defined". However, the more useful answer would be to point out "There is nothing in the system which references that variable, so it does not matter if you define it..." I suspect you *might* be thinking of the recent change on the sparc64 platform, which happened after 5.2.1-release. *IF* you are running freebsd on sparc64 hardware, then the instructions for that change are included in a file under /usr/src (note that file was only added after 5.2.1-release). However, those instructions do not reference any variable named HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP. Where did you get that variable name from? Are you compiling some program which expects that variable to exist? That sounds like something which would be generated by an auto- configure script. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
