[netperf-talk] Trying to compile Netperf4 (svn snapshot) on Solaris

[Simon Leinen]

Rick & all,

after more than ten years, I have started to look closely at Netperf
again.  I checked out the Netperf4 sources from Subversion and tried
to compile them on a Solaris 9 machine.  I found that the following
patch was necessary to avoid a compilation error because of an
undefined symbol "MAX_PATH":

: leinen at arenal[netperf-4-svn-20060317]; svn diff src/netlib.c
Index: src/netlib.c
===================================================================

 #endif


However, now I'm running into the problem that some files are missing
- apparently they belong to a kstat-based implementation of system
resource statistics.  Are those just missing from SVN for some reason,
or should I start writing them? :-)
