[Bacula-devel] adding a new function to bfile.c

[James H. <jam...@be...>]

I'm testing to see how send_data could make use of the output of a
bpipe... the bpipe structure uses FILE structs to hold the file
descriptors, and send_data uses a BFILE.

I created a bopen_fd function to fake the opening of an open BOPEN
structure from a normal file descriptor (eg an int), but then linking
failed, and to get it working I had to add "_Z8bopen_fdP5BFILEi" to
./win32/dll/bacula.def.

Should I have had to do it this way or is there some step that should
add it automatically to that bacula.def file?

Thanks

James

PS I think that being able to build a windows executable and installer
under Linux is absolutely fantastic! vi is my editor of choice and while
windows versions exist, I haven't yet found one that I really like.
