Greetings everyone.

Today I decided that I would take the latest trunk version of
crossfire-server and compile it on FreeBSD 9.0 from source. For anyone
interested in going through a similar experience, crossfire-server
doesn't like compiling on FreeBSD, but with some modifications to the
configure script and makefiles, seems to work fine. So, here's what I did.

0) Do all of the preparatory work (grabbing arch, map, server, linking
arch into server/lib, etc.)

1) Created configure with the standard "sh autogen.sh"

2) Change the shebang in 'configure' from #!/bin/sh to
#!/usr/local/bin/bash. FreeBSD's /bin/sh isn't at all like bash, and
seems to choke when looking for Python. Bash seems to work fine.

3) Change all instances of '-ldl' to '-lc' in 'configure'. FreeBSD
doesn't have a -ldl, because its dlopen() is in the standard C library.

4) ./configure with your favorite options (mine is --prefix).

5) Change the '-ldl' in server/Makefile to '-lc'

6) gmake install (instead of FreeBSD's default make)

And it actually compiles. And here begins my 'bug report'. For me, it
doesn't work. When I load up crossfire, everything starts out fine...

But then...

12/01/27 21:31:02 [Error]   select failed: Bad file descriptor
12/01/27 21:31:03 [Error]   select failed: Bad file descriptor

And that message repeats until I CTRL-C out. Now I need a little bit of
help. I can play with configure scripts fine, but I need a little help
with this.

Thanks,
Kevin Zheng
