Re: [Pnet-developers] building pnet on freebsd

[afo]

hello,

a few days ago i successfully compiled pnet 0.5.6 on both FreeBSD 4 and 5.
after explicitly disabling multilib in the libffi configure script.

regarding alloca, the include/il_config.h generated by configure looks as :

...

/* Define if using alloca.c.  */
/* #undef C_ALLOCA */

/* Define if you have alloca, as a function or macro.  */
#define HAVE_ALLOCA 1

/* Define if you have <alloca.h> and it should be used (not on Ultrix).  */
/* #undef HAVE_ALLOCA_H */
...

hope that helps
