Thanks for your comments Eugene. I know that is a bad assumption to make, but I'm basically updating someone else's software which already had that assumption for Linux. If you were going to do this, would you make it a configure flag... ie --enable-polling... That way it doesn't matter if the build box is different? thanks Andrew _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
