Hi All - There appears to be a build problem with FreeBSD 7 and XMail, at least on the two non-64 bit systems I have updated so far - the build fails on the -lc_r flag. I am uncertain as to the specifics of the lc_r flag - it appears to be a directive to link against libc_r for threading - but at any rate, that flag is no longer recognized (or valid?) under FreeBSD 7. I removed it from the Makefile and kept -pthread, and so far everything seems OK with the XMail binaries.
I am guessing that FreeBSD 7 has changed the way it handles threads, probably a good thing, and this is the root of the build problem. If so, does anyone know if simply passing -pthreads is adequate? I haven't been able to find much info about lc_r so far...
