I did a test run in GNU/kFreeBSD and came only as far
as a compile failure of telnetd/telnetd.o:
make: Entering directory `/tmp/inetutils/telnetd'
CC telnetd.o
In file included from telnetd.h:47,
from telnetd.c:23:
/usr/include/stropts.h:67: error: conflicting types for 'rpl_ioctl'
../lib/sys/ioctl.h:357: note: previous declaration of 'rpl_ioctl' was here
make: *** [telnetd.o] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/inetutils/telnetd'
Can you show me your config.log and the prototype for icotl in
/usr/include/stropts.h?
The problem is that GNUlib defines a macro
#define ioctl rpl_ioctl
which somehow works for GNU/Linux but not for GNU/kFreeBSD.
Doubt that is the problem...
