On 6.x and 5.x I see that these are possible candidates: /usr/X11R6/include/gnome-vfs-2.0/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs.h /usr/include/fs/devfs/devfs.h /usr/include/sys/statvfs.h /usr/local/include/af_vfs.h /usr/src/sys/compat/svr4/svr4_statvfs.h /usr/src/sys/fs/devfs/devfs.h /usr/src/sys/nfs4client/nfs4_vfs.h /usr/src/sys/sys/statvfs.h But you'd have to compare the functions and structures defined in sys/vfs.h on linux to determine which is your best match up. There is /usr/ports/devel/mipsel-linux-kernel-headers/ which, according to pkg-plist will install mipsel-linux/include/linux/vfs.h. That may be exactly what you need (although it may be overkill).

I'm sorry that I didn't reply sooner. I did get this worked out, but unfortunately I don't remember the include file I had to use. I found in a different file than the one I was editing at the time I wrote this a nice comment explaining why the #include sys/vfs.h preprocessor directive was there. I found that function in a different include file for FreeBSD, changed the code and all was well. Thanks again.

compilation problems with some code from Linux
Hi, I'm trying to port some code from Linux to FreeBSD and I've got an issue that revolves around something I've never dealt with before. The code includes the following header: #include sys/ucred.h Apparently, program is attempting to make use of the xucred structure defined in there, because the rest of the stuff in the file seems to be for the kernel. However, when I try to compile, gcc continually bails with the following error (among others), NGROUPS was not declared in this scope. The NGROUPS appears to be a macro, but it's not defined earlier on. Would anyone here know where it's defined so I can include that file too? Secondly, I'm also getting errors because gcc can't find sys/vfs.h either. True enough, there isn't any vfs.h file in /usr/include/sys. Since this file is in Linux, what should I include for FreeBSD?

Since these interfaces are not available in FreeBSD, and they are Linux-specific, you have to find out *why* they are used and look for equivalent functionality in FreeBSD -- provided there *is* something equivalent, of course. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
