[Libevent-users] building libevent from git on *BSD

[Tom Pusateri <pusateri@xxxxxxxxx>]

I cloned the git tree today and tried building libevent on FreeBSD 7 and 8.

It needs netinet/in6.h but on the *BSD's that include file is in netinet6/in6.h so it can't find the definitions of in6_addr.

From config.h:

/* Define to 1 if you have the <netinet/in6.h> header file. */
/* #undef HAVE_NETINET_IN6_H */

It doesn't find netinet/in6.h.

But it does find AF_INET6 so the code is trying to compile.

Here's the output of make but probably isn't necessary.
