Package net-mgmt/net-snmp is broken by numerous changes in DF headers

This was seen in DragonFly 1.1-CURRENT, updated on 2005-01-04.

In the file /usr/include/netinet/in_pcb.h, at line 279, after the definition of struct xinpcb, in FreeBSD there is the definition of struct xinpgen, which is missing in DragonFly.

Because of this, the compilation of the package net-mgmt/net-snmp fails.

If the missing definition is added, the next failure is due to a directive from /usr/include/sys/dkstat.h:

#error "This file should not be included by userland programs"

If that is commented out, the next failure is due to the missing definition of struct ipstat from /usr/include/netinet/ip_var.h.


At this point I gave up. Maybe all this is part of a Grand Plan, but if DF has removed the support for these features present in FreeBSD 4 and 5, I would like to know what is supposed to replace them and more importantly, which are the steps supposed to be done in order to make the ports that use these features to work again with DragonFly.


The package net-snmp is an essential package that is broadly used in all open-source operating systems, so the failure to support it forbids in many cases a switch to DragonFly.

Best regards !
