./devel/libbsd, Compatibility library for BSD functions under other systems

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.12.2, Package name: libbsd-0.12.2, Maintainer: vins

This library provides useful functions commonly found on BSD systems,
and lacking on others like GNU systems, thus making it easier to port
projects with strong BSD origins, without needing to embed the same code
over and over again on each project.

devel/libbsd: revbump following libmd update.
   2022-12-19 18:15:34 by Paolo Vincenzo Olivo | Files touched by this commit (1) 
Log message:
devel/libbsd: mark as broken on Darwin and SunOS.

SunOS (with particular regard to illumos) and macOS support native
analogues for most of the functions provided by libbsd.
As a result, libbsd failes to compile on these platforms, due to the
inherent incompatibility of parameters/arguments types in declaration
and definition of the same functions.
