Porting vls to FreeBSD

Guys,
 
I have managed to get VideoLAN server (vls-0.3.3) running on FreeBSD (4.4)
but
I wouldnt go as far as saying that its a complete port (see below). However
I thought
Id mail this to the group in the hope that it can be a start for someone
contemplating
a more complete and formal port - I managed to run it up on FreeBSD and
stream MPEG2-PS files to vlc clients
on a test LAN.
 
Pre-build notes
----------------------
 
I ran ./configure --disable_dvd
(As far as I am aware libvdread-devel has not been ported to FreeBSD 
Anyone have any ideas here ?)
 
Modifications for build
-------------------------------
 
1) File src/core/socket.cpp
    Line 171 (AssignSlot)
    Line 193 (SetSlotBuff)
Changed "m_pBuffer[iSlot].iov_base = (bufftype*)pBuff"
to            ".....................................=(char*) pBuff
(bufftype is same type as pBuff anyway. iov_base on FreeBSD is defined
in /usr/include/sys/uio.h to be of type char*)
 
2) File src/core/library.cpp
Line 173
Changed "char* pszError = dlerror();"
to           "const char* pszError = dlerror();"
 
3) src/server/admin.cpp
Line 34
Replaced inclusion of crypt.h with inclusion of unistd.h instead
 
 
4) src/modules/netchannel/netoutput.cpp
Lines 382
Line 407
Replaced IPV6_ADD/DROP_MEMBERSHIP with IPV6_JOIN/LEAVE_GROUP
I am not sure which parameters are the most recent but these are ones I
needed
to use to make this file compile on FreeBSD(4.4) so...
 
I also added #include <netinet/in.h> to netoutput.cpp also
 
Then just gmake vls
 
Other notes
On linking, warnings arose concerning "encrypt" and "des_setkey" which the
linker
said werent part of the "system" - any ideas ?. I have vls running so
hopefully these
are not major issues.
 
Hope this is useful anyway
Cheers
Ewan
