New subject: SIMH compilation problems

3 Sep 2003

...
 I was having some problems compiling SIMH on FreeBSD.
The reason is, all
the sources have stray MS-DOS carriage returns (^M), while UNIX only
uses line-feeds (^J). This causes GCC to misread some of the code. I
suggest you convert the sources to UNIX text format. use 'unzip -a' to
automatically convert text files when unpacking.

...
 BTW, why is networking not supported on FreeBSD? Does
the pcap driver
not work? on FreeBSD you can't send packets directly over bpf (at least not
the same way you can on Net-/OpenBSD). I have patches to make it
use libnet for sending packets. It's a bit rough, but it works. I
can put them up somewhere if anyone is interested.
