Ryan,
Thank you for looking into this.
I look forward to having a version that is built-in to FreeBSD 7 that works
from ports. I hate to see FreeBSD 7 get left behind and appreciate your
efforts to patch and correct these items. Will you respond to this email
thread in the future to let me know when and how to test again?
Also: In short what does "unity" provide?
Or what does "--disable-unity" leave out?
Have a great trip and hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you,
Ernie Wilson

Hi, Ernie,
The libXss library isn't part of libX11, but rather from x11/libXScrnSaver.
The
paths you're referring to above are part of the Linux binary compatibility
packages. I.e., they only apply if you're running a Linux binary X server.
Regardless, the Unity codebase requires some modification to even build on
FreeBSD, so for the time being you should stick to using "--disable-unity"
when
running ./configure.

I just want to let you know that I'm looking into this. We have a few
instances
where <syslimits.h> is referenced instead of <sys/syslimits.h>. There are a
few
other things getting in the way of building the open-vm-tools, unmodified,
against FreeBSD 7.0.
Unfortunately I'm going out of town soon and have some other things to gnaw
on
first, but I'm going to try to get these issues taken care of "soon", and
will
also look into patching up the FreeBSD port (emulators/open-vm-tools),
sending
modifications over to the current port maintainer.
I won't feel -too- bad if anyone beats me to the punch, though. ;)
