[gdsl-general] gdsl 1.0 on FreeBSD 4.4

[Charles Randall]

gdsl 1.0 won't compile on FreeBSD 4.4.

During configure,

...
creating doc/fr/Makefile
sed: ./doc/fr/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating doc/en/Makefile
sed: ./doc/en/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
creating Makefile
creating src/config.h

During make (this isn't related to the configure issue
identified above),

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -D_REENTRANT
-D_THREAD_SAFE -D_GNU_SOURCE -pedantic -rdynamic -c

It looks like ulong from gdsl_types.h isn't being
properly declared.

The patch below allows compilation, but I believe that
this should probably be determined by configure.

Additionally, there should probably be a "test"
makefile target that automatically provides input to
the test programs invoked by "make check".

Finally, I'd like to ask you to consider the LGPL
instead of the GPL.

FYI,
