IIRC, the actual breakage is due to an included slightly-hacked version of tcsh that gets used to build the qtcsh command. Since I never used that command, I just hacked that one part of the included tcsh to not do anything with utmp and it built; something like this: --- 3rdparty/qtcsh/FREEBSD_I386/config.h.orig 2003-03-07 20:27:15.000000000 -0600 +++ 3rdparty/qtcsh/FREEBSD_I386/config.h 2011-06-10 13:26:20.421119769 -0500 @@ -26,6 +26,9 @@ */ /* #undef POSIXSIGS */ +/* XXX quick hack to make qtcsh build by disabling utmp usage altogether. */ +#define HAVENOUTMP + /* * VFORK This machine has a vfork(). * It used to be that for job control to work, this define A better fix would be to apply whatever fixes were done in fbsd tcsh code to accomodate the New Utmp Scheme, of course, but this was good enough for me.
