NetBSD 5.0.1 siginfo_t struct compile errors

Submitted by Anonymous

Hi,

When I define any structure member variable with either si_signo, si_code, or si_errno, I got a compiler syntax error. The workaround is to undef these member variables. These variables are posix standard variable for siginfo_t struct. But since I define my own struct tag the compier is not suppose to complaint about it.

Hi,

I'm having problems trying to get WDM to run under NetBSD5. Startx works and a fluxbox session opens without problems, mouse working and everything.

XDM kinda works. Login screen appears, accepts username and password and loads a fluxbox session. Only problem is now the mouse doesnt work.

Hi All,

I'm a newbie in NetBSD kernel and my apologies, if this is not the right place.

I got the following error and would appreciate anybody that could explain the possible cause on this one.

kernel debugging assertion "l->l_cpu == curcpu()" failed: file "/u2/cvs_trees/HEAD/NetBSD/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_synch.c", line 509

Thanks a lot.

I hope my question is appropriate to this forum. I can't find anything in the NetBSD archives (maybe I just don't know where to look). I am a retiree with a mostly software background supporting a small NetBSD 1.6.2 server.

RealTek RTL8169 - can't connect

Hey all,

I'm having trouble getting the net working on the box I just installed NetBSD on. I can't ping anything, even my router. Output from dmesg doesn't even mention a network card. The network card works fine under all the Linux distributions I've tried it with, but not OpenBSD or NetBSD.

I believe that support for it is compiled into the kernel.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

VRF Support on NetBSD

I wanted to get some information over extending NetBSD routing infrastructure for VRF. I'm currently not planning to do full-fledge VRF support.

What I'm planning to do is add more domains that needs to worry about vrf and have rt-tables for them. Use vrf-id with dst when doing accessing the tables.

Has anyone implemented VRF? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I would like to be notified of changes made within a folder but not have to rescan the folder to get an updated listing everytime I am notified of a change.

Is there a method using Kqueues by which I can monitor a folder and then, when say, a file is added retrieve that specific info? i.e, "file x added in folder y" as opposed to just getting "something happened in folder y"

Dear forum members,

I am trying to configure NetBSD to send and receive e-mails. I read the chapter 26 e-mail of the NetBSD guide, but this does not really bring me forward. I am using NetBSD 4.0 as a desktop without X. All distribution sets are installed except X.

I tried to follow the steps, but when I had to do

This would be a great platform to port NetBSD to. I have all of the drivers from the pepper SDK... where to go from here? VMware, pepper cross-compiler or NetBSD tools???
