[bug-inetutils] A problem with ifconfig/if_index.c in OpenBSD.

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Hello,

the source file "ifconfig/if_index.c" defines functions

  if_nameindex(), if_freenameindex(),
  if_indextoname(), if_nametoindex()

These already exist i OpenBSD, yet the file "if_index.c"
is indeed compiled when building for OpenBSD. Once I remove
only the new definition of if_freenameindex(), the executable
"ifconfig" is compilable (but its functionality is broken).

Could the developer responsible for "ifconfig" begin an
examination of which parts of the conditional compiler
directives are responsible for letting this loop hole
miss the detection that the four functions, listed above,
are present on a given system? Is there some false detection
taking place in configuring Inetutils?

I will begin tracking down the part of ifconfig that
does not work on OpenBSD.

Best regards,

Mats Erik Andersson, fil. dr
