[augeas-devel] Re: augeas on freebsd

[Rizwan Kassim]

I experienced this problem on my attempt at an OSX and fixed it, but I
didn't post it because, well, it still doesn't compile ;p

I did
diff -r f6ad39f818de src/fa.h
--- a/src/fa.h	Fri May 16 12:14:50 2008 -0700
+++ b/src/fa.h	Thu May 22 19:42:27 2008 -0700
@@ -184,6 +184,9 @@
 int fa_as_regexp(fa_t fa, char **regexp);
 #endif

+#ifndef REG_NOERROR
+#define REG_NOERROR 0
+#endif

 /*

Is it better that the defines go in the h or c file?

With regards to other errors, i've made some progress, will attach
patches to the OSX thread.

That is strange, what kind of errors did you get ?

I thought that that was a constant defined by the POSIX regexp
interface, but looking at the manpage, it seems to be a GNU extension.
To get things to build, you can just put this at the top of fa.c
somewhere:

 #ifndef REG_NOERROR
 #define REG_NOERROR 0
 #endif

but I need to start getting more serious about making the code more
portable.

You'll probably get more build failures after this, since I use the GNU
regex interface, not the POSIX one. Ugh.
