If we want FreeBSD to become as popular with the home user as Linux currently is, we NEED to be able to do everything it can and more, there should be no exceptions, our Linux binary emulation is terrific, that's a great start, but we MUST start porting everything and anything we can to FreeBSD if we want to make ourselves a more flexible OS. I only wish I had the programming knowledge to do it. I can program, a little bit, not enough to know the major differences to port between operating systems, except in small cases like include files and ifdefs. : With regards to wminet it seems to use some "features" of Linux's struct utmp : that don't exist in ours. See above, good luck!

The Makefile has this: : : cc -o asmon $^ $(LIBDIR) $(LIBS) Yup, that was my stupidity at this hour.. It compiles fine with gmake, but it cores on a floating point exception. : --- : Chris Piazza Abbotsford, BC, Canada : cpiazza@home.net : finger norn@norn.ca.eu.org for PGP key : : : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org : with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message -- DISCLAIMER: Anyone sending me unsolicited commercial electronic mail will be charged a $100 fee for time spent reading it.
