Modified files:
shells/zsh Makefile
Added files:
shells/zsh/files patch-Src::utils.c
Log:
Make zsh not segfault on ia64 due to a generic misconfiguration that
just happens to be fatal there, and a coding botch. The first problem is
that it assumes a termcap interface (which is an emulation on freebsd),
and provides its own terminfo wrappers around termcap.. so that's two
avoidable translation layers... termcap file -> terminfo (libncurses) ->
termcap API emulation (libncurses) -> terminfo (zsh emlulation). zsh
forgot to prototype the tiget* functions (which return pointers) so we
have an integer (implicit declaration) being cast to a pointer which
is fatal. The second problem is that zsh tries to use _mktemp() to get
around the __warn_references in our C library, but also neglects a
prototype there and has the same fatal int/pointer problem.
It is likely all the zsh* ports need these fixes. A test compile on
pluto1.freebsd.org will highlight the problem.
I do not know why the packaging fails for ia64. termcap.so and
terminfo.so are not being built for some reason, this change doesn't
solve that problem.
