[erlang-questions] : OTP Stack building problems

[Raimo Niskanen]

Sorry about the lack of response on the erlang-bugs
mailing list. We have downprioritized this since
we felt SCTP was only for the ones that had a
specific need. But now it seems new Linux:es ship
both header files and libraries for SCTP, with
a too fresh version for our standard build.

So, now this is a reeally annoying problem that
I am currently working on. We hope it will be
fixed in R12B-1; I have a dirty #ifdefing
solution that works for lksctp-tools-1.0.7
but have not made regression tests against
the older version yet. So I will polish
on the #ifdefs before being happy.

Any hints on how SCTP header files differ between
different OS:es are greatly appreciated, esp.
if struct sctp_event_subscribe.sctp_adaptation_layer_event
does not exist on FreeBSD, can one then count on
struct sctp_event_subscribe.sctp_adaption_layer_even
existing instead. (Ther is a patch on 
http://www.nabble.com/Patch-to-fix-crypto-and-SCTP-support-on-FreeBSD-to11474612.html#a11474612
that tests for the "adaptation" spelled variant and if it does
not exist assumes there is no such field instead of
falling back to the "adaption" spelling.
And we have no FreeBSD machine to test on...
