Do the proper hack for the (Open)BSD getaddrinfo quirk.
From evutil.c:
Some older BSDs (like OpenBSD up to 4.6) used to believe that
giving a numeric port without giving an ai_socktype was verboten.
We test for this so we can apply an appropriate workaround. If it
turns out that the bug is present, then:
- If nodename==NULL and servname is numeric, we build an answer
ourselves using evutil_getaddrinfo_common().
- If nodename!=NULL and servname is numeric, then we set
servname=NULL when calling getaddrinfo, and post-process the
result to set the ports on it.
We test for this bug at runtime, since otherwise we can't have the
same binary run on multiple BSD versions.
svn:r1550
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 [...]
