Hi, I have just comitted a fix for elinks to OpenBSD: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/ports/www/elinks/patches/patch-src_util_time_h?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain
The timeval_T struct defined in src/util/time.h uses a long for the seconds. Pointers to this struct are then passed to select(2), which expects a pointer to a timeval_t (from sys/time.h). On OpenBSD (and probably other platforms too), the seconds field in a timeval_t is a 64-bit signed integer (a.k.a. time_t). So to use a long for the seconds field is wrong, since on some arches (e.g. i386), a long is 4 bytes. This screws things up and makes calls to select(2) fail, thus elinks fails to run. There is a comment above the timeval_T definition which I don't pretend to understand. Why don't you use the host system's timeval_t from sys/time.h, rather than defining your own? -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk _______________________________________________ elinks-dev mailing list elinks-dev@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-dev
