If Linux wasn't changing stuff just for the sake of it, it would be better. Compiling network application designed for Linux[sic] is always a PITA to compile on more standard systems (i.e. FreeBSD). > Perhaps we could somehow get these header files in the FreeBSD > distribution, only interfaced to the FreeBSD operating system instead? > This would make compiling stuff much eaiser. Pushing Cox (or whoever is maintaining it nowadays) to fix them would be even better (fat chance I know). Me, bitter ? Try compiling GateD on a Linux system for a change. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #48: Sat Nov 8 18:08:59 CET 1997
