Notes on libieee1284 on OpenBSD/i386
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For direct port access on OpenBSD/i386, the library uses the i386_get_ioperm
|
|
and i386_set_ioperm syscalls. These can only be called as root, so currently
|
|
only root access is supported. They also require the linking of the i386
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
This would not be a problem, except that for no good reason I can discern,
|
|
there is no shared version of libi386 included in the base OpenBSD install.
|
|
The result is that programs using libieee1284 will have to manually
|
|
link libi386 when compiling on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Rob Pearce for providing the hardware for OpenBSD and Solaris/x86.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy,
|
