Hello maintainers,
Some Linux software projects are implementing getifaddrs() and
freeifaddrs() defined in ifaddrs.h included with Solaris 11, but how do
we build on Solaris 10 which doesn't have ifaddrs.h? I'm curious to
hear what other maintainers are doing about this.
getifaddrs() is not in the standard and it has been added very recently (a
short time before Oracle stopped working on OpenSolaris).
It is obvious that programs that expect getifaddrs(), cannot be called
"portable".
Did you contact the maintainers?

Hi Jörg, yea unfortunately, a lot of programmers are not concerned with
portability or even Solaris as a compile target anymore. The project in
question is dnsmasq. I'm working on porting it to compile on Solaris
10. I haven't contacted the maintainer yet but when I get it done I will
send them a patch. In the mean time could someone give an URL to where
I could find source code to getifaddrs.c? googling around I found this
post http://markmail.org/message/t74kvl63savhzrzp but I would prefer to
find it in the illumos/openindiana source.
Thanks,
/Jake
