Seriously? What the hell? utmpx is part of POSIX; utmp is not. There was a strong push for POSIX compatibility last year and in a brief survey I found that everyone I looked at had utmpx support. I guess I missed OpenBSD. Googling "utmpx OpenBSD" ... yeah, okay, I guess I don't need to say anything more. >Reverting 7ba29497ff3f164e2a507eda35e81f1cb0658c74 lets nmh build again >on OpenBSD. Can this change be applied? I am reluctant to bring this code back, as it was messy. But ... let me offer a compromise. The code is only needed by rcvtty (will output a message to your terminal) and slocal (actually, looking at slocal ... that usage seems to be undocumented; anyone know what the deal is with that?). I suspect you don't use those features. Would you be happy with code that just disabled that support on OpenBSD? --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
