I should have thought of something like this when I first saw the problem :-(. The equality tests on __FreeBSD__ are used to define a macro `BSD'. At least in 19.34, the value of this macro is never checked, just its definition, so David's change is adequate. Joel Ray Holveck <joelh@gnu.org> >I'll make the patch if a committer can get it in. Going thru the proper FreeBSD channels... (Joel might like to see if he can get it integrated into emacs). The fix for 19.34 is a patch file: diff -bur work.old/emacs-19.34/src/s/freebsd.h work/emacs-19.34/src/s/freebsd.h --- work.old/emacs-19.34/src/s/freebsd.h Fri Mar 12 12:18:16 1999 +++ work/emacs-19.34/src/s/freebsd.h Sat Apr 10 06:32:00 1999 @@ -112,7 +112,7 @@ #define BSD 199103 #elif __FreeBSD__ == 2 #define BSD 199306 -#elif __FreeBSD__ == 3 +#elif __FreeBSD__ >= 3 #define BSD 199506 #endif Satoshi (or someone else with the complete ports tree): How about doing a quick search for any other equality checks against __FreeBSD__ or __FreeBSD_version that are biting us.
