You will probably have to modify -the <code>ntp_machines.h</code> file and <code>"l_stdlib.h"</code> files -as well. The two most famous trouble spots are the I/O code in -<code>./ntpd/ntp_io.c</code> and the clock adjustment code in -<code>./ntpd/ntp_unixclock.c</code>. - -<p>These are the rules so that older bsd systems and the POSIX standard -system can coexist together. - -<ol> - -<li>If you use <code>select</code> then include -<code>"ntp_select.h"</code>. <code>select</code> is not standard, since -it is very system dependent as to where it is defined. The logic to -include the right system dependent include file is in -<code>"ntp_select.h"</code>. - -<p><li>Always use POSIX definition of strings. Include -<code>"ntp_string.h"</code> instead of <code><string.h></code>. - -<p><li>Always include <code>"ntp_malloc.h"</code> if you use -<code>malloc</code>. - -<p><li>Always include <code>"ntp_io.h"</code> instead of -<code><sys/file.h></code> or <code><fnctl.h></code> to get -<code>O_*</code> flags. - -<p><li>Always include <code>"ntp_if.h"</code> instead of -<code><net/if.h></code>. - -<p><li>Always include <code>"ntp_stdlib.h"</code> instead of -<code><stdlib.h></code>. - -<p><li>Define any special defines needed for a system in -<code>./include/ntp_machine.h</code> based on system identifier. This -file is included by the <code>"ntp_types.h"</code> file and should -always be placed first after the <code><></code> defines. - -<p><li>Define any special library prototypes left over from the system -library and include files in the <code>"l_stdlib.h"</code> file.

They should be controlled -by a system identifier and there should be a separate section for each -system. Really this will make it easier to maintain. - -<p>See <code>include/ntp_machines.h</code> for the various compile time -options. - -<p>When you are satisfied the port works and that other ports are not -adversely affected, please send <a href="patches.htm">patches</a> for -the system files you have changed, as well as any documentation that -should be updated, including the advice herein. - -<p>Good luck. - -<hr><a href=index.htm><img align=left src=pic/home.gif></a><address><a -href=mailto:mills@udel.edu> David L.
