First is that our default compiler is gcc, and, as has previously been reported, it doesn't like being called as cc -E without a *.c file on the command line. Sam posted a patch to fix this for real, I've just been saying: sed -e 's/CPP.*/CPP = cpp/' <Options.orig >Options after running the configure script. This really needs to be fixed, especially since it isn't all that obvious that you *were* trying to run the preprocessor when the build dies. Second is a small patch to the libwww sources. If you hear from users of any other O_SYNC deprived OSen, it might be more efficient to just say #ifndef O_SYNC. --- libwww/Library/src/HTMemLog.c.orig Wed Dec 16 11:55:44 1998 +++ libwww/Library/src/HTMemLog.c Tue Jan 5 20:13:09 1999 @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ #include "HTMemLog.h" #include "HTTimer.h" -#ifdef WWW_MSWINDOWS +#if defined(WWW_MSWINDOWS) || defined (__FreeBSD__) #define OPEN_FLAGS O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC #else /* WWW_MSWINDOWS */ #define OPEN_FLAGS O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_SYNC -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
