RE: [misterhouse-users] FreeBSD and termios.h/SerialPort.pm

Perhaps for testing for the operating system, you could use the uname
command.  It exists on all unixes I'm aware of and is pretty standard.

Switching from sh to csh seems like it would cause lots of problems going
from a bourne type shell to a c-shell type.  Maybe it would be better to
switch from sh to bash if you really need to.  Most unix boxes have bash
installed these days.  Of course, nothing is more universal that plain ol'
sh.

Hope that helps,
jay

Thanks for the info.

A couple of questions for any takers:

 - Suggestions on what I could test in the configure script to detect
FreeBsd -vs- others?   Looks like on linux, the var OSTYPE is set.  Is that
true foe FreeBsd?

 - I the csh installed by default on all OSes so I could switch to that from
sh?

so a correct configure script (h2ph part) for FreeBSD would be :
--------------
echo Converting C headers to Perl headers for
mh/lib/site/Device/SerialPort.pm
pushd /usr/include
h2ph sys/termios.h
h2ph sys/ioctl.h
popd
---------------
The choosen  shell (#!/bin/sh) doesn't support popd and pushd, therefore you
need to run with #!/bin/csh on FreeBSD.
