argus-2.0.0V -- compile problems on FreeBSD

[Carter Bullard]

Well, no wonder this doesn't work.

The assignment should be for FreeBSD:

#if defined(FreeBSD)
   *stdout = *FILE;
   *stderr = *FILE;
#else
   stdout = FILE;
   stderr = FILE;
#endif

does this work for anyone?

	That's right. Look at the definitions for stdin and stdout in
/usr/include/stdio.h:

#define stdin   (&__sF[0])
#define stdout  (&__sF[1])
#define stderr  (&__sF[2])

	And the array __sF[] is:

	
__BEGIN_DECLS
extern FILE __sF[];
__END_DECLS



	Borja.
