Hi, Gabriele G. has some problems with the vlc development people, especially regarding the value of _POSIX_TIMERS, see also Gabrieles first patch to debian-hurd.
>From /usr/include/i386-gnu/bits/posix_opt.h (in eglibc-2.17-98~1) /* We do not have POSIX timers, but could in future without ABI change. */ #define _POSIX_TIMERS 0 Still we have (from local-clock_gettime_MONOTONIC.diff): /* The monotonic clock might be available. */ #define _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK 200809L /* The clock selection interfaces are available. */ #define _POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION 200809L According to the developers having _POSIX_TIMERS equal to zero while the other two are defined is not correct. Quoting: > This is a completely illegal and non-sensical combination. POSIX requires > timers if clock selection is supported, since clock selection instrinsically > depends on timers. Furthermore POSIX.2008 requires timers and the monotonic > clock in any case (they are *not* optional). > > So as already implied, your system is broken. It is your operating system, > not > VLC, that needs fixing. However from http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap02.html one reads (quote): * The following symbolic constants shall be defined by the implementation as follows: o Symbolic constants defined with the value 200809L: _POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION ... _POSIX_TIMERS ... * The system may support one or more options (see Options) denoted by the following symbolic constants: _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK Who is right? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
