The logic to include the right system dependent - include file is in "ntp_select.h". - 2) Always use POSIX defintion of strings. Inlcude "ntp_string.h" instaed - of <string.h>. - 3) Always include "ntp_malloc.h" if you use malloc. - 4) Always include "ntp_io.h" instead of <sys/file.h> or <fnctl.h> to - get O_* flags. - 5) Always include "ntp_if.h" instead of <net/if.h>. - 6) Always include "ntp_stdlib.h" instead of <stdlib.h>. - 7) Always define a system identifier for any new system added to the - machines directory. The identifier should always start with SYS_! - 8) Define any special defines needed for a system in - ./include/ntp_machine.h based on system identifier. This file is - included by the "ntp_types.h" file and should always be placed - first after the <> defines. - 9) Define any special library prototypes left over from the system - library and include files in the "l_stdlib.h" file. This file is - included by the "ntp_stdlib.h" file and should ordinarily be - placed last in the includes list. - 10) Don't define a include file by the same name as a system include file. - - -"l_stdlib.h" can contain any extra definitions that are needed so that -gcc will shut up. They should be controlled by a system identifier and -there should be a seperate section for each system. Really this will -make it easier to maintain. - -See include/ntp_machines.h for the verious compile time options. - -Good luck. - -Bill Jones, with amendments by Dave Mills |
