base-dev - sys/limits.h
« on: June 11, 2010, 05:13:27 PM »
Hi

When compiling vidalia, my makefile complaints about a missing sys/limits.h
I can see, that all other files in /usr/include/sys are given by base-dev.
I looked in the appbrowser, and nothing else is supplying limits.h

I ask the maintainer to update base-dev (bmarkus?) or give me a hint for an other solution

No such file should be on a current linux system AFAICS. Appears to be just another location for limits.h, in use by the BSDs.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I am nnot sure i understand you. Can you elaborate that??
Are you saying, that limits.h should only be present on *BSD systems??

No, I mean on linux systems it's /usr/include/limits.h, not in /usr/include/sys.
