#11 Does not compile on RHEL 6 or 7

[Marcus Furlong]

On Centos/RHEL 6 and 7, stropts.h does not exist.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656245 for rationale.

watchdog does not compile:

Suggested solution:

-#include <stropts.h>
+#include <sys ioctl.h=""></sys></stropts.h>

Dear Marcus,

[bugs:#11] http://sourceforge.net/p/watchdog/bugs/11 Does not compile
on RHEL 6 or 7

Suggested solution:

-#include <stropts.h>
+#include <sys ioctl.h=""></sys></stropts.h>

Thanks for pointing this out, have fixed my version and guess that
Michael will do the official version soon.

I guess there was some HTML-like format mangling in the <sys ioctl.h=""> above!</sys>

Regards,
Paul

Yep looks like it got mangled somewhat. Many thanks for the quick fix.

Where does the official version live if not on sf?

Dear Marcus,

Sourceforge is the official version that Michael Meskes maintains.

I have my own 'experimental' version that has fed in many of the recent
bug-fixes and improvements to that project. It was created to fix and
change some thing we needed here, and to allow that to be done more
rapidly than the usual submission & review process that official
projects have to follow.

Regards,
Paul

This seems to have been fixed some time ago - closing this bug.
