Activate fd events in a pseudorandom order on older backends. New backends like poll and kqueue and so on add fds to the queue in the order that they are triggered. But the select backend currently activates low-numbered fds first, whereas the poll and win32 backends currently favor whatever fds have been on for the longest. This is no good for fairness. svn:r1318
To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the subversion repository, you will
first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
generate the configure script.)
Install as root via
# make install
You can run the regression tests by
$ make verify
Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
