LaCour III) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions,comp.dcom.fax Subject: Problems compiling Flexfax v2.2pl1 on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R Date: 20 Sep 1994 22:28:55 -0500 Organization: MCSNet Subscriber Account, Chicago's First Public-Access Internet! Lines: 23 Message-ID: <35o99n$6nf@Venus.mcs.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: venus.mcs.com I have two problems when trying to compile Flexfax v.2.2pl1 on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R: 1. mkfifo: /var/spool/fax/FIFO: Operation not supported. I'm unable to use mkfifo to make named pipes from the shell, so I believe this to be a FreeBSD issue. 2. flexfax/faxed/FaxServer.c++ line 1450 sv.sv_handler = fxSIGVECHANDLER(sigALARM); This statement yields 'Assignment between incompatible pointer types'. I'll start digging through the code tomorrow, but I was hoping that someone may know what needs to be changed offhand. This is the code from freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/ports/comm/flexfax. Any help with this greatly appreciated. Regards, John
