than having CFLAGS= in the template files.

It uses -O2 for gcc (generated by autoconf), and -O for non-gcc, unless
the template overrides it.

Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.

Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.

for the library.  not sure if this will cause problems on other
platforms, but if it does it can be easily fixed.  Also remove the
references to the GeekGadgets includes as the majority of users don't
have them installed and they foul the build process.  We can document
that adding them if you have them installed is a good idea.

after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.

        Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :

        * beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
        * beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
        * expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
        * regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
        * dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)

        Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.

working on the VERY latest version of BeOS.  I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!

Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.

Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.

BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed.  Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.

I await the replies with interest :)

problems with some bits of it, but when all the patches are in it'll build
and we can fix it from there :)  I've got a version that builds and runs and
that is the basis for these patches.

The first file has the new additional files that are required,
    template/beos
    backend/port/dynloader/beos.c
    backend/port/dynloader/beos.h
    include/port/beos.h
    makefiles/Makefile.beos

The second is a tarball of diffs against a few files.  I've added sys/ipc.h
to configure and config.h via configure.in and config.h.in and then started
adding the check as this file isn't needed on BeOS and having loads of
#ifdef BEOS isn't as obvious as #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H and isn't as
autconf'ish :)
Files touched are
    include/c.h
    configure.in
    include/config.h.in
    include/storage/ipc.h
    include/utils/int8.h

Let me know how these go.  I'll await a response before submitting any more.

Any problems just get in touch.
