Completely jailed tinderbox?

2010-06-02 Thread Peter Cornelius
Dear list,

Has anyone ever succeeded to run a tinderbox in a jail who is willing to 
elaborate on the configuration because it's driving me NUTS. Happy to do that 
off-list and summarise later on.

Looks like neither NFS nor nullfs mounts would work in a jail which is breaking 
tinderbox builds. Sysctls are set to permit mounts etc.

Thanks,

Peter.

IP-Based Apache Config

2010-06-01 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi there,

I could need a quick hand from someone with apache22 and maybe apache-in-a-jail 
experience.

I want to set up locally apache22 on a given IP (it's in a jail here) and use 
files for name service. nsswitch.conf does this per default so files take 
precedence -- if resolution worked that way which I currently am not that much 
sure about anymore.

I set Servername to IP:80 just as to resolv-conf-hostname:80 after reading 
another post [1] and some more of the apache dox [2] (but left the rest of the 
config alone for the time being). A also do see the connection via tcpdump both 
at the router connected to the jail as well as the jail server itself as much 
as I see the connections in netstat both in and outside the jail.

However, I do NOT see ANYthing in any apache logs, and tcpdump confirms that 
all that is established is the TCP connection. Also, when I telnet IP 80 and 
GET /, it goes into the server, and all remains quiet thereafter.

I think I probably overlook something utterly obvious and simple but since I 
don't have any straws from logs to cling to, I currently don't seem to be able 
to get my head around it. Hence, any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.

Re: 'Serious' crypto? (was: FreeBSD router - large scale)

2010-05-28 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the response.

  Or is it still worthwhile to consider hardware accelerators such as the
 ones guys like soekris [1] and others offer? Does anyone have an idea how
 much such an accelerator may help on older vs. on newer hardware?
 
 Something like a 1GHz P3 or equivalent can generally do the symmetric
 crypto about as fast as a decent PCI crypto card like the HiFN 795x could; bus
 limitations made faster CPUs better, although a newer PCIe crypto device
 ought to be more competitive.
 
 What matters more for some common use cases is that crypto H/W tends to do
 asymmetric crypto like RSA/DSA signing to negotiate a shared session key--
 aka SSL session creation for SSL websites, secure email, SSH keys, etc
 much faster than normal CPUs could.

I guess I try first without and see where I hit the ceiling. Then go to plan b. 
I was more thinking of many IPSEC connections but then there's also only so 
many slots and so many NICs in them. I'll try without and monitor that for a 
while and then see what happens.

  Would multiple engines work (and help) at all? From crypto(4), I would
 not guess so. One consequence would be that there may be certain limitations
 in using a separate accelerator once the platform comes with its own
 accelerator device?
 
 Sure, you can setup multiple engines, although this does better if you
 have separate services using each, since you do want to use an SSL session
 cache, but you don't want to pollute one for HTTPS with sessions from IMAPS
 and vice versa.  Also, the config interface for Apache/IIS/whatever, or
 Dovecot/Cyrus/Exchange, etc might not let you specify more than one SSLEngine.
 
 On the other hand, it's not very much coding to adjust things to use
 multiple engines even within Apache or whatever-- I can recall some custom
 webserver modules from CryptoSwift for NSAPI / ISAPI / ASAPI which let you use
 multiple CryptoSwift boxes via ethernet network or local PCI slots, for
 example.

Hmm... I was thinking more like round-robin the devices but I probably now too 
little about 'serious' crypto to see the side-effects. Anyways, I think the 
question is a bit academic at this time since I probably divide the servers 
anyways.

Thanks again,

All the best regards,

Peter.

Re: 'Serious' crypto?

2010-05-28 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the response.

  NAT.  Doing serious crypto slows things up somewhat.
  
  I've been pondering this since a while but thought that crypto 
  engines on modern hardware would make 'extra' hardware accelerators
  obsolete?
 
 Yes -- in many use cases this is true.  Modern processors are fast
 enough that they don't need an external accelerator to perform.  It
 doesn't mean that running crypto imposes *no* extra cost on a server.
 For instance, a web server running HTTP will (roughly speaking) be able
 to support an order of magnitude more simultaneous sessions than the
 same site served over HTTPS.

And a hardware crypto device will level HTTPS to the HTTP volume without it?

  Or is it still worthwhile to consider hardware accelerators such as 
  the ones guys like soekris [1] and others offer? Does anyone have an 
  idea how much such an accelerator may help on older vs. on newer
  hardware?
 
 Those soekris boards are designed to work in low power (both in wattage
 and in compute capability) appliances.  That is a perfectly viable
 alternative design for a crypto-gateway router / packet filter intended
 for traffic levels within the specification they claim.

That is what I currently consider. The low power is a good thing. I just wonder 
whether it is worthwhile to hunt for a newer hardware (= more expensive, both 
in wattage and procurement) or stick to a known platform and just add a new 
component.

 Hmmm... 250Mb/s IPSec throughput is (I think -- not having tried this, I
 cannot be certain) easily accessible through a fairly run of the mill
 server such as the HP Proliant DL120 G6.  Of course, the HP box costs
 about 4--5 times as much as the Soekris. It will have a great deal more
 spare RAM, disk, compute capacity etc.  No idea abut on-going support
 costs, but I don't think you could get support cover with a 4 hour
 on-site response from Soekris...

I know the DL series though I have used more the DL360 G4-G6 ones. I like 
something with low noise and power intake, hopefully achieving passive cooling. 

  Would multiple engines work (and help) at all? From crypto(4), I 
  would not guess so. One consequence would be that there may be
  certain limitations in using a separate accelerator once the platform
  comes with its own accelerator device?
 
 One feature that hardware accelerator boards provide which is hard to
 get otherwise is plenty of random numbers on tap.  Generating
 cryptographically strong randomness in volume is pretty hard
 computationally, and a hardware solution really helps things like IPSec
 throughput.

I think I do understand that (I hope :))

 Also, if you need really high volume crypto traffic throughput (multiple
 Gb/s levels), then yes, you will need specialised hardware.  However, in
 this case, you're likely to be using pretty fancy routers (Cisco,
 Juniper, etc.) and those all have options for hardware acceleration
 built into interface cards.

Yes, I know the Ciscos very well but currently the Junipers look more 
appropriate to me for one application we have. The Junipers probably go outside 
the ASAs inside.

My reason for the post was considering more another 'quiet' and 'lowpower' 
project I have, so that's probably a completely different pair of shoes. I'll 
try without first and then see what comes out of it. 

Thanks again, and

All the best,

Peter.

Re: 'Serious' crypto?

2010-05-28 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi Matthew,

  And a hardware crypto device will level HTTPS to the HTTP volume
  without it?
 
 Probably.  The usual approach with HTTPS once traffic levels get big
 enough is crypto-offload.  You use a separate device as the crypto
 endpoint: typically built into a load balancer.  You can do this using a
 PF based firewall using relayd(8) for a lot less money, and in this case
  one crypto accelerator card in your firewall could support several
 webservers behind it.

That's pretty close to what I had in mind though I considered a separate device 
in a DMZ for load balancing and mod_proxy/mod_security, as a minimum. However, 
HTTP(s) is only one of so many protocols.

 Heh.  When I said 'pretty fancy kit' I meant something considerably more
 *shiny* than a Cisco ASA5510.  In fact, running OpenBSD on a commodity

Ok, you win that one :) We typically use one up from that as a minimum. Dunno 
if that regains me my face though...

 server is roughly performance compatible with a 5510 but considerably
 cheaper if you want all the trimmings like high-availability, unlimited
 numbers of servers, GB on all interfaces etc.

That is all true but these arguments do only work if you talk to 
security-literate people, not managers who prefer something with a real seal 
on and regular updates etc. Since the latter are the ones who authorise the 
cash, here we go. There are some who I can convince but frequently it's just 
not worth the discussion. Imho, unfortunately, but I don't want to start an 
advocacy thread here.

 Note that ASA5510 level kit tends to do things like deep packet
 inspection, content based filtering etc. [Not to mention fubar'ing EDNS0
 and screwing with SMTP so hard it breaks.]  PF itself is purely based on
 dealing with packet headers: however you can easily add things like
 squid caching and filtering, snort etc. but these will ramp up the CPU
 requirements beyond what a small appliance could support.

As indicated initially, I intend to shift the load off the firewall to a 
separate device which then may do a lot more to the traffic than the firewall. 
But I don't see why I should'nt try to use the same kind of hardware platform 
for both.

However it may be, I first set up this with the hardware I already have and 
then see what I find and where to optimise best before going to series. I also 
must improve significantly on my config management before I actually can do 
that just as others do when I look at other threads.

  My reason for the post was considering more another 'quiet' and
  'lowpower' project I have, so that's probably a completely different
  pair of shoes. I'll try without first and then see what comes out of
  it.
 
 Commodity servers certainly don't fulfil the quiet requirement.  Most
 of them have enough fannage to build a fairly respectable hovercraft.

Nope, they don't. I used to dry my hair behind the cabinets. And I used to have 
a lot of that :)

Thanks again for your responses, and

All the best regards,

Peter.

kernel build fails - .depend, line 27905: Need an operator

2010-05-25 Thread Peter Cornelius
Dear list,

This probably is obvious but I don't seem to be able to figure out where I 
should look in order to learn why I can't compile the bloomin' kernel, pse see 
below.

Every time I update my KERNCONF, I try to remember to keep a copy of GENERIC so 
I can diff against the updated one. This diff shows no change hence I believe 
my KERNCONF is in order. Which I did not expect since the running kernel is not 
that old:

FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #17: Thu May  6 10:21:19 UTC 2010

I also read that config(8) was updated so I finally tried to remake world 
hoping that that's where it comes from but (well in agreement with my 
expectations that /usr/src should be self-contained :)) without avail.

Any enlightenment appreciated...

Thanks all,

All the best,

Peter.

Lock order reversals on RELENG_8

2009-08-20 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi,

Are these lock order reversals reported any reason for preoccupation and/or 
should I report elsewhere?

The kernel I just built does not boot at all, so I don´t know whether these are 
a closed issue already. I´m off for a couple of days and will retry then. 

Thanks  regards,

Peter.

Re: Desktop Install Option

2009-08-19 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi,

 So, I've been wondering about something.  FreeBSD is a general purpose
 operating system, even though it has historically only heavily been used
 on
 servers.  Why is it that FreeBSD doesn't provide a desktop installation,
 something similar to say Debian's option of Standard Desktop?  For those
 who need it, it'd be great.

Not sure what you are looking for but I have a feeling that it may be something 
like

Rgds,

Re: su'ing not sourcing .bash_profile

2009-04-24 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi,

  When I am logged in as a non-root user and I try to become root by
  entering su and typing the root password, the resulting bash prompt
  does not reflect the contents of /root/.bash_profile

 Because .bash_profile is only seen on login, not on 'su'.  Put
 it in .bashrc which is read when the shell is invoked.

su -

maybe? If you can live with ending up in ~root/, of course ;-)

Rgds.,

Re: FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail

2009-03-28 Thread Peter Cornelius

 Now, it is my suspicion that the apparent need for promisc at the router
 end indeed is an apperent one and not really the router's fault but rather
 the other end's. The other end, in this case, is the server below.
 
 If the server, with its single MIB, default-routes its packets through one
 specific of its vlans which may not be the one, at the router's end, with
 the corresponding IP network the traffic entered into the net, would it be
 possible that there's something preventing them be received? Unless there's
 promisc on, of course...
 
 I'll grab the laptop next time I think of it and have the switch monitor
 traffic to it to see what really is on the wire, maybe that helps and gives
 me a clue. I just keep forgetting the bl**dy thing each time I leave...

Ok, after a good portion of fiddling with the switch, it seems that you cannot 
copy traffic from link-aggregated ports to a monitor port on a Linksys SRW2016. 
Now out at my wits end here it seems.

I'll try the FIB approach hopefully next week then.

  - On my server, is there any way to set up individual
   default routes (to the router) for each of the vlans short of
   tucking the ezjails behind the vlan interfaces each into their own
   FIB (btw,. has anyone ever done that?)?
  
  Yes, from FreeBSD-7.1 and beyond, there is support
  for up to 16 routing tables. Use the setfib command
  to select routing table for outgoing connections.
 
 So, I interpret your response as that I am correct, I have a single
 default route per FIB, and that's it. Which effectively means that I do need
 FIBs. I agree that this behaviour might make some sense :)
 
  Something like, setfib 10 jail $JAILOPTSANDARGS,
  in the jail case. You have to compile a kernel
  with the option ROUTETABLES=n. Read the message for
  revision 1.1485 from here:
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/conf/NOTES
 
(...)
 Generally speaking, or rather, inquiring, has anyone ever done FIBs with
 ezjail? It probably is very easy, and I consider(ed) looking into it myself
 but I currently spend about max. an hour every 2-3 days on FreeBSE so I
 don't really progress. Well, might eventually, but that'll be dunno when. But
 well, such is life, and this is pleasure not work :) and I hope to learn
 something useful on the way.

Re: FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail

2009-03-18 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hiya Nikos, re list,

 Hm, the promiscuous mode must be needed for the vlan driver.
 But you don't have to set it.

It does not work without, at the router end. Suspicions, please see below.

 I can't think of any implication in a switched ethernet environment.
 
 It is just that every frame received from the cable is offered
 to the operating system for further evaluation. In a switched
 ethernet environment every frame that will reach your card will
 be either:
 1) for you.
 2) a broadcast frame.
 3) a multicast frame.

And hence there should be no (notable) effect. That is my interpretation, yes.

 Things would be very different, if your system was connected to a
 hub where a multitude of frames(every frame on the ethernet) would
 be interrupting the kernel for no reason.

Exactly. But I connect to a switch and hence expect the behaviour detailed 
above.

Now, it is my suspicion that the apparent need for promisc at the router end 
indeed is an apperent one and not really the router's fault but rather the 
other end's. The other end, in this case, is the server below.

If the server, with its single MIB, default-routes its packets through one

I have seen that section as a separate posting [1] which is why I suspected to 
possibly be able to resolve my issues above with it. It is my intention to 
insert 4 to 8 FIBs asap but I currently don't know when I take my time doing so.

Generally speaking, or rather, inquiring, has anyone ever done FIBs with 
ezjail? It probably is very easy, and I consider(ed) looking into it myself but

Re: Fujitsu Siemens Promergy RX100S4

2009-03-17 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi,

 I think that if it is hardware RAID, you should see only one disk.

My Promise controller does have my disks show up as ar0 -- but the disks are 
there as individuals (ad*) as well, and accessible (though I only use ar0*, for 
hopefully obvious reasons).

At least, that's what I saw last time I looked (running 7-STABLE around 
~7.1-RELEASE). I can check tonight if you want (and I get home on time ;-)).

Regards,

Peter.

Re: MGA(0): Unable to map BAR 0. Invalid argument (22) / X.Org Server V. 1.5.3, mga_drv V. 1.9.100, 7.1-STABLE

2009-03-16 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi Warren,

 The last time I saw that error was on a -CURRENT test system several 
 months ago.  That system is updating now to the latest -CURRENT.  Time 
 will not be available for at least the next few days to try 7.1, but 
 I'll see what I can do.

I know that feeling, so thanks for offering. Please take it easy :)

 The 1.4.9 version of mga may work.  I'd give portdowngrade instructions 
 for it, but the anoncvs server isn't answering.

I did eye that, funny you say so. I found on some X.org repository that 1.4.9 
was considerably 'younger' than 1.9.100. I may (might) have a look at it 
tonight depending on when I may get outta here.

 If you have the option of replacing the Matrox card, better-supported 
 Radeons are available in AGP, PCI, and PCIE versions.

Oh, I had even less success with a radeon in an IBM box but that's admittedly 
before 7.4 and probably another story. I'll have another dig into my junk box 
but so far I only got PCI out of it (and the G200 has AGP, dunno if that makes 
*the* difference though ;-)).

Alright, then,

Thanks a lot, and

All the best,

Peter.

Re...

 Flash disks are no big deal, especially if they will already be inserted
 at boot time.

I take it that the atom CPU just works, right?

Regarding the WindPC 2713 (if that's the one you look at), I am not even sure 
whether there is a WLAN card in it at all (the Wind U100X netbook allegedly has 
an Atheros AR928X as per iX 3/2009, [1]), and iX also comments that it was 
somewhat slow in their test. In their article, they recommend to buy parts, and 
so do other people [3] but due to lack of time  funding, I have no personal 
experience.

Hth., anyways...

I did get out late but I could not leave it, as usual, so got the 1.4.9 
(Makefile,v 1.7 2009/01/08 16:58:29 and the corresponding distinfo), rebuilt 
the port and, success...

Well, mostly. I had to DefaultDepth 16 in the Screen to really get her up 
(errors otherwise, [1]). The other option probably is to go w/o DRI, and I 
really may consider that since it looks kinda crappy still -- but not today 
anymore. At least, we're back to xorg.conf, and also there still is the option 
with the junk box... :)

So thanks for the hint, and

FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail

2009-03-15 Thread Peter Cornelius
Dear all,

While I'm at it, I don't seem to be able to get my head around some networking 
items I observed (currently only vlan(4), not ng_vlan(4), if that makes a 
difference):

- On my router, why do I have to set the base interface to promiscuous mode in 
order to get packets from/to my vlans through? Am I doing something wrong? Are 
there any implications of working this way?
- On my server, is there any way to set up individual default routes (to 
the router) for each of the vlans short of tucking the ezjails behind the vlan 
interfaces each into their own FIB (btw,. has anyone ever done that?)?

So I'm stuck and would appreciate a hand. It probably is something pretty 
obvious which I persistently ignore, or something stupid I attempt to do here 
but I got curious now :)

Thanks a lot, and

All the best,

Peter.

MGA(0): Unable to map BAR 0. Invalid argument (22) / X.Org Server V. 1.5.3, mga_drv V. 1.9.100, 7.1-STABLE

2009-03-15 Thread Peter Cornelius
Dear all,

I have an odd Xorg error with a Matrox G200 card here. I have googled for it 
but only found dual-head installations, plus comments that it allegedly is 
fixed with the new FreeBSD Xorg 1.5.3 ports.

However, as I still see the error, I poked about and could not find much of the 
changes people had suggested in the driver as unpacked from current ports. But 
since XFree, Xorg and the various releases are a complete miracle to me, my 
evaluation may just be plain wrong.

So, if there was anyone knowing how to possibly fix the matter, I'd appreciate 
a hint (or two or so ;-)).

All the best,

Peter.

Re: Speeding up exit(2)?

2009-03-15 Thread Peter Cornelius
 Yes, clearly web browsers should be optimized for speed of exiting.

Oh, yes, definitely.

But, honestly, a marginally minor resource footprint would not be bad, either.

But I've got a certain feeling that this thread'll go to advocacy sooner or 
later :)

Like Lloyd, any help appreciated... Meanwhile I think I will reinstall

Oh well.

Help sought for new nvtv (NVidia TV-Out) port (was: ? getopt_long(), iopl() and ioperm() ?)

2003-11-02 Thread Peter Cornelius
[follow-ups please to FreeBSD-Multimedia and Cc: to me, for the time being.
- Thanks!]   
   
Hi there,   
   
I have started to fiddle with a program called nvtv which supposedly makes
the tv-out 
on my graphics card work (an nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3 Ti200]), and
possibly   
some other NVidia-based cards, too. However, as it turns out, odds are
against me and   
my (very) limited programming abilities; I have the bugger on my table for
several   
weeks now without making real progress. To a certain extent, this is also
due to the   
workload I currently have from the hand that feeds me.   
   
Therefore, I have decided to make a preliminary port and start to look for
someone who   
knows more  better than I do. Please find enclosed a tar ball (relative to
/usr/
ports) of the port skeleton I  made. To build, it needs a modified version
of the 
pciutils port as it requires the pci.h headers and the libpci.a library.
There is a 
diff against pciutils-2.1.11's Makefile below (I took the freedom to label
it 
PORTREVISION=1 ;-)). 
   
The preliminary port apparently installs and deinstalls ok, but it has a
good lot of  
pecularities and todos which I also list and discuss below.   
   
So, if you wish to help, it is very much so appreciated. Please be patient
with me,   
however, as I probably only have time at weekends for some time to come. 8-S

  
Keep me Cc'd if urgent ;-) I dig into the digest otherwise...  
  
Please also be advised that this program may still be very unstable, crash
your box,  
burn your video and cause data loss, make your wife go away, etc., so
understand that  
you play with it at your own risk.  
  
Finally, my special thanks go to the people on the Bcc list for providing
hints, help 
and/or other support on the way here. Thank you, folks! 
   
Thanks again and   
   
all the best,   
   
Peter.   
   
--- --- ---  
  
Here is the patch to pciutils-2.1.11's Makefile (sorry, cutpaste, you may
have to   
replace some spaces with tabs 8-S):   
$ diff Makefile Makefile.orig  
10d9

 @dirrm include/pci  
 include/pci/pci.h  
 include/pci/config.h  
 include/pci/header.h  
  
--- --- ---  
  
Here's a list of issues I have with my attached port skeleton. Most of these
are  
included as todos in my Makefile. I include some remarks further below.  
  
(i) Currently, nvtv is 'untested'  
(ii)Unknown/unsure whether to add nvidia-drivers dependency or not  
(iii)   Find bsd replacement for iopl() and ioperm()  
(iv)Fix port to honour MANx  
(v) Fix configure/configure.in to properly configure gtk in  
(vi)Fix port to install properly named binaries/manpages (see pkg-plist)  
(vii)   Clear up handling of different gtk versions  
(viii)  Write pkg-descr.  
  
--- --- ---  
  
Here's the above list with a couple of cents of my thoughts about these.  
  
(i) Currently, nvtv is 'untested'  
  
At this point, I have not been able to successfully use my tv-out, because
apparently  
my card's Philips SAA7108E is not detected properly. This may or may not be
a bug in  
nvtv, and I already have loose contact to the author of it about that
matter, so  
please let me know if you have or have not success with that chip (or any
other).  
  
(ii)Unknown/unsure whether to add nvidia-drivers dependency or not  
  
I would not expect any effect, but as I currently can't properly test,
please do check  
the -N/--nvdev option if you have a chance (and the confidence ;-).  
  
(iii)   Find bsd replacement for iopl() and ioperm()  
  
There is an occurrence of either one in the code once. I don't know what
they do and  
even less whether there's an appropriate replacement for them on FreeBSD.
Since I  
simply commented these out in order to be able to build (see the patch file
in files/ 
patch-src___card_direct.c.aa), owners of Vodoo 3 and Intel cards currently
will have  
no joy with this nvtv port.  
  
(iv)Fix port to honour MANx  
  
Should be minor, but must probably fix the binary naming issue first (see
below).  
Don't forget to amend pkg-plist accordingly, as this currently catches the
man pages.  
  
(v) Fix configure/configure.in to properly configure gtk in  
  
To me, this smells like a problem inherited from the configure.in/.ac files.
That's a  
terrain in which I am *absolutely* lost, so please do help, thank you. In
any case, 
currently configure is broken and 'forgets' to add the gtk version to
${WRKSRC}/src/
config.h (if you manually fix it in there, the gui can be built and used,
though).

  # [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-10-19 01:59:45 +0200: 
   I'm hacking at a piece of code that I want to turn into a port. It's
from 
   Linux and uses libpci and some other 'strange' functions.  
   While I think that I've managed to modify the libpci port to install
the

I 
   include it explicitly (#include /usr/local/include/getopt.h), I  
   run into problems. Please note that I'm not a programmer at all, so
it's 
   very much hacking along, so I may look for someone patient  
   to bear with me ;-) But I am willing to learn.  
   
  AFAICT you need to tell the compiler about the library. The rule in 
  your Makefile needs to have -L /usr/local/lib -lgnugetopt. 
 
Thanks for that, Roman, I did so and got some sort of binary to play with.
For a port, however, I think I must 
dig in deeper, or rather climb higher for that matter -- autoconf  co. are
used for making the makefiles, so I 
probably must fix it there somewhere there. If it was for plain makefiles, I
might not have the problems I see, 
but this is something entirely new for me ;-) 
 
 The best way is to set USE_GETOPT_LONG=yes in your port Makefile. 
  
 # USE_GETOPT_LONG - Says that the port uses getopt_long. If OSVERSION 
 #   less than 500041, automatically adds devel/libgnugeopt

 #   to LIB_DEPENDS, and pass adjusted values of  
 #   CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS in CONFIGURE_ENV. 
 #   Default: not set. 
 
Thanks, Dan, I'm not that far yet. As I said above, I'm still trying to
understand what is required by nvtv in 
the first place. There still seem to be bugs in there, at least with my
card. I have contact with the author who 
is willing to help as long as I can build and test. Which I sort of achieved
now with your help and the of a 
friend. Anyways, as I must have overread that comment in bsd.ports.mk,
thanks for the pointer. 
 
In any case, if it makes to be a port, I'll proceed as suggested. 
 
So, thanks for the help and watch ports@ if it ever makes it there ;-)==) 
 
All the best, 
 
Peter. 
 
Btw, iopl() and ioperm() I currently simply get around by uncommenting them.
Which probably makes those 
sections unuseable for the cards covered there, so I would not mind a hint
for these by any other reader ;-)

? getopt_long(), iopl() and ioperm() ?

2003-10-18 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi there, 
 
I'm hacking at a piece of code that I want to turn into a port. It's from
Linux and uses libpci and some other 'strange' functions. 
While I think that I've managed to modify the libpci port to install the
required lib, I'm more or less lost at getopt_long() which I 
assume is in the libgnugetopt port. However, for some reason, even if I
include it explicitly (#include /usr/local/include/getopt.h), I 
run into problems. Please note that I'm not a programmer at all, so it's
very much hacking along, so I may look for someone patient 
to bear with me ;-) But I am willing to learn. 
 
A similar story applies to the iopl() and the ioperm() functions which are
used in a part of the code which I personally don't require 
but others may (if this ever reaches port status which I hope it does ;-)).
For these functions, I don't even know how to replace 
them. 
 
Well, I think there still is some bug in the configure script that goes with
it, but basically that's the story for the time being. Hints 
are very much so appreciated, though I may need some time to think them over
and apply them due to my limited programming 
abilities. 
 
Thanks a lot for reading this far, 
 
all the best, 
 
Peter. 
 
PS: Please be so kind and keep me Cc:'ed on this matter, it helps me to note
replies earlier and ensures a slightly more timely 
response, thank you!
