As is so often the case, articulating the problem led to a resolution; it looks like linking sys/byteorder.h to machine/endian.h is an effective workaround. Still working on olvwm, though; it complains, now, about conflicting definitions of sys_errlist[] and wchar_t ... aiyah. Hope this helps someone else, down the line. -- richard richard childers / kg6hac wrote: > I'm trying to compile olvwm(1), v4.4, for FreeBSD 4.6 on an i386 > box. > > It's looking for sys/byteorder.h and not finding it. > > My research indicates that linking sys/byteorder.h to > netinet/in.h doesn't work.
