I've been trying to get GGI (General Graphics Interface) and GII (General Input
Interface, used by GGI) running on my FreeBSD machine. It compiles and links
very well, but when I run anything, I get these warnings (I don't have them
verbatim, these are paraphrased):

/lib/libc.so: warning: This program uses gets(), which is unsafe.
/lib/libc.so: WARNING! des_crypt() is not available on this system!
(.. more des_* warnings)
/lib/libc.so: warning: This program uses f_prealloc(), which is stupid.

Experimenting with the GGI demos, they run for about half of a second, and freeze
up, without accepting any input at all, which leads me to believe the problem
is in GII. I suppose that's why it's not in the ports collection yet ;).

Is there a libdes I need to link against to make it shut up about these warnings,
or should I start hacking the GII code? Has anyone else had successful experience
with GGI?

Thanks!

-Joe
