[Help-gnunet] gnunet-0.6.0 on freebsd-4.9 (stable)

[clemens fischer]

there's a port of gnunet to freebsd under the maintainership of
"address@hidden", which has the following problem:

every module needing atleast one of:

,----
| CIPHER(3)              FreeBSD Library Functions Manual              CIPHER(3)
| 
| NAME
|      setkey, encrypt, des_setkey, des_cipher -- DES encryption
| 
| LIBRARY
|      FreeSec Crypt Library (libcipher, -lcipher)
| 
| SYNOPSIS
|      #include <unistd.h>
| 
|      int
|      setkey(const char *key);
| 
|      int
|      encrypt(char *block, int flag);
| 
|      int
|      des_setkey(const char *key);
| 
|      int
|      des_cipher(const char *in, char *out, long salt, int count);
`----

evokes the following error message, and hence won't provide vital
gnunet functions (one example of a dozen):

if you insert "-lcipher" somewhere in the linker command, these
warnings will disappear, and gnunet should work correctly.  btw, the
use of autoconf tools has been way beyond my horizon, nevertheless, i
have frequently repaired programs exhibiting this problem on freebsd.
