2006-04-13 Thread ken mays
Hello, I pretty much have FlightGear 0.9.10 ported to Solaris yet seem to have noticed two things: 1. FIONBIO is not defined. 2. Issues with src/Scenery/tilemgr.hxx (tilemgr.cpp) and the defined scope of 'queue' which affects 'fgfs_init.o' compilation. This eventually affects the compile of
