hi there,
i was helping a friend earlier tonight with an application he had
written under freebsd, using libpcap. it compiled without errors on his
system, using fairly strict flags including -ansi. however, on linux
(debian and others) it FTBFS.
consider the following example code:
#include <pcap.h>
int main(){ return 0; }
rangda[/home/sean] gcc -std=c99 foo.c :)
In file included from /usr/include/pcap.h:51,

rangda[/home/sean] [1] :(
without -std=c99 (or -ansi, which afaik means -std=c89), it compiles just fine.
the strange thing is that with these flags it compiles just fine under freebsd.
