[CF-Devel] Compile problems

[Mark Wedel]

 The crossfire configure scripts looks for sys/time.h, and if it finds it,
includes it (this is done in include/includes.h)  This seems to work on most all
systems.

 Now if gnu/linux only has a include/time.h and not a include/sys/time.h, that
would be the cause of the problem.  It is actually fairly easy to modify the
configure and include/includes.h file to deal with this properly.  I would just
like for this to be confirmed and not just that configure for whatever reason
did not properly detect the sys/time.h file.

      Adding in an #include <time.h> seems to fix it. Just thought I'd mention

      this in case it's a real bug.

      This sentence is false.
