as a side dish I have begun to hunt down quirks needed to get
compileable source for OpenBSD. This is the first installment on
that track. Please tell me, if you regard this as futile, then I
will stop bothering.
I don't think it is futile, more supported platforms the better. It
also makes our code better in the long run.
This first taster is the outcome of getting utmp logging to work on
OpenBSD. The result is a compilable telnetd service, although not
yet free from pty problems yet. That must be resolved later.
By the way, the ifconfig code is a mess as regards OpenBSD, and it
is far from compiling at all.
What kind of errors do you get? Currently, ifconfig ends up using
system/generic.c which probobly is not very well tested; I just
commited a few random fixes to make it work but it might still behave
weirdly on OpenBSD.
I will need help from someone on autotools in order to finalize
what I will outline now using the following patching snippets.
I can help you with this.
1. A test in 'configure' must include 'sys/types.h'
in order to be meaningful at all.
Which test is this?
