[Xorp-users] OpenBSD scons breakage

[Bruce Simpson]

Hi all,

For all OpenBSD users: the build is broken in the SCons-ified community 
branch.

This is on OpenBSD 5.0 with gcc 3.3.5 out-of-the-box, using scons from 
ports.

Summary:
 * The header prerequisites are most likely incomplete in a number of 
places.
 * Fails <sys/socket.h> check due to incomplete/incorrect prerequisite 
header list.
 * Need check on snprintf() in libc.
 * CLOCK_MONOTONIC is in <sys/time.h> there; check needs updating.

    It's a known issue with SCons that the confdefs.h file support, 
normally handled by the Check*() family of functions, is currently 
broken -- the file is not generated, therefore manual header 
prerequisites in xorp/site_scons/config/allconfig.py are needed. This 
would make dealing with the above issues much easier.

    Again, fixing the checks shouldn't be too difficult, and please feel 
free to contact me for advice once the branch re-opens. OpenBSD isn't a 
tier 1 platform for us, however we're more than happy to welcome a 
volunteer who can support OpenBSD for XORP on an ongoing basis. The 
OpenBSD port entry currently lacks a maintainer.

thanks,
BMS
