[B2-devel] building the snapshot

[Brian J. <bjj...@us...>]

I tried the 15012002 snapshot on Irix, and it seems to configure and
run OK.  I still see the timing problems I have for a while (moving
the mouse makes BII think time is moving faster:  eg. the insertion
point blinks faster.)  But that looks more like an Irix pthreads issue
than a BII problem.  I'm still working on it.

I did have to make one change to get it to compile:

-               getsockname(udp_socket, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, &sa_len);
+               socklen_t sa_length = sizeof(sa);
+               getsockname(udp_socket, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, &sa_length);
                uint32 udp_ip = sa.sin_addr.s_addr;
                if (udp_ip == INADDR_ANY || udp_ip == INADDR_LOOPBACK) {
                        char name[256];

Irix's header files #define sa_len to some nutty foo.bar.natch sort of
thing, so it can't be used as a variable name.  (BTW, if someone could
check in this patch or something similar, I'd appreciate it.  It's
kind of a pain having to keep reapplying it locally.)

Thanks,
