The following reply was made to PR kern/47061; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mark Linimon <linimon@lonesome.com> To: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ports/47061: Conflicting system headers by build of graphics/cqcam Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 04:54:12 -0600 > > >Er, this is really a port[s] problem [...] > >The system could provide >a header that implements inb() and outb() functions for userland (*), >but <machine/cpufunc.h> is not this header. > Other than duplicating the inb/outb code into places in the ports collection, there is no way that I can see for the ports collection to fix this problem; it involves some kind of change to the system headers. So, I'm saying that I agree with point (2) but that IMHO (2) is necessarily in conflict with (1). If you have some other suggestion about getting inb/outb functionality into the ports, please make it. (Fair warning: "rewrite or delete the apps" is not what I'm looking for :-) ... unless you're also willing to replace the junky old parallel-port peripherals that these ports talk to).
