Hello. I tried to send this a while ago, but the MIME type got messed
up, and it was scrubbed.
I've tried to compile libpcap (from the stable and unstable trees) on
PowerPC OS X 10.4.11. It fails with a compiler error in the BPF code
about a constant that doesn't exist. When I looked at the code, it
turned to be a hack working around a bug in OS X 10.3. Well, I guess
10.4 fixed it. When I took out the code, the library compiled and has
worked perfectly.
I offer a patch to take it out (by changing the #ifdef around it) for
10.4 users if anyone else has been having the problem. I suggest that if
10.3 is still officially supported by Fink, the build script should
check the OS version, and possibly apply it.
Please reply to me directly with any comments, as I am not subscribed to
the list.
I hope it helps someone.
