Hi, yeah true, having been burned by Be when working on their OS I

Somewhat; Be's assets (most of the engineers, BeOS and BeIA) were
purchased by Palm (which is a subsidiary of 3Com), but it's very
unlikely that the latest internal versions of BeOS will ever legally
see the light of day. (There were some leaks in November.)
If the OS doesn't have good TCP/IP stack support such as a lack of
getsockopt() it sounds like the OS needs fixed. I think from what
Yeah, it was fixed in an networking system rewrite that went as far
as closed/private beta tests (and it rocked) but it was never
formally released; even as an open beta.
I
remember of the little I ever knew of this, to call getsockopt()
from some
stacks you have to be root (a scary concept to me), so perhaps if
that's the
case in BeOS your app isn't running as root or doesn't have
security
privilege?
Scary thought but not the problem. Everything in BeOS runs as root,
because the multiuser support was never fully implemented. Everyone
always has full access to BeOS's resources.
If you feel up to it you might write (ugly proposal
sorry) your
own glue to fix the hole in the BeOS networking stack.

I never
dealt with
this side of BeOS so can't comment on how hard that might be, my
interest
was mostly in video drivers. This was back when Be had it's own
box, and
the code ports related to PowerPC. (Yeah, some time ago sorry.)
Thanks for the response and thoughts!

Ok, let me amend and repeat this request since there wasn't even so
much as
a No! BeOS is stupid! Go away! response to my original message.
(Yes,
sometimes a flame is better than utter silence ;) )
The biggest problem that I seem to be running into in getting
OpenSSL to
compile and generate shared libraries is that the net_server
version of BeOS
does not apparently have getsockopt() in it's networking libraries.
At least
not in the standard ones that I have.
So, my question is now how would one get around this lack of
functionality
on any operating system? The reason this is important is because
one of the
required files (crypto/bio/b_sock.c) in OpenSSL uses this function,
precisely once (line 224). I've tried working around it by
supplying the
value of errno if there is an error, and I've tried following a
1998 era
suggestion on it, though neither method worked.
So, does anyone have suggestions based on lack of a particular
function as
opposed to OS wonkiness?

telling me precisely how you managed this feat, and whether you
compiled
the shared libraries or not.Thank you.
