Description Andriy I Pylypenko 2002-11-08 12:58:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD] 
OS:          FreeBSD

Dialogs "Network->LAN Browsing->Guided LISa Setup" and "Information->Network Interfaces" don't show iterface list.

This happens because in order to read interface list one must use ifr_addr.sa_len. KDE sources contains this code enclosed in

#ifdef HAVE_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN
#endif

The problem is that configure script doesn't check this feature.

I'm reporting the bug.

It affects not only kcm_lanbrowser but kcm_nics also. The bug is not in
the code of those modules. It is in the configure scripts of the
kdenetwork and kdebase distributions. As I have written in previous
message, these scripts doesn't check feature HAVE_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN.

  Kind regards,

Adding this:

+AC_CHECK_MEMBERS(struct sockaddr.sa_len, , ,
+       [#include <sys/types.h>
+       #include <sys/socket.h>
+       ])

to the end of configure.in.in in kdenetwork makes it check for sa_len, at least. It still doesn't find any NICs for me in guided setup,  though.

KInfocenter NIC display works fine.
