[coco-devel] NetBSD compilation fixes for copter-commander-1.8

[Thomas K. <wi...@da...>]

Hi!

I just added copter-commander to NetBSD's pkgsrc, it will show up
sometime next week at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/games/copter-commander/README.html

I had to add some patches to make it work, they are attached.
Some comments:
NetBSD doesn't provide nor need alloca.h; if it's really needed on
Linux, it should be properly #ifdef'd (my patches just remove it).

I had to initialize to variables because of gcc-2.95.3's complaining
about them perhaps being used uninitialized (patch-ad, patch-ae).

NetBSD's sed doesn't support a '-' flag, since stdin is the default.
I don't think it's really needed in the one place in
string-literalize.sh, so I removed it (patch-ag).

Oh, and patch-aa: The rpath has to be added manually. -L doesn't
automatically add its argument to the binary's rpath, because the -L
path is only for link-time, the -R path is for run-time.
[Imagine you want to link against some libraries before installing
them, then you don't want to embed the temporary path in the binary].

Please add these patches to the copter-commander distribution.

Thanks,
 Thomas Klausner
