Some notes on compiling QTFileLib on Linux (Debian 2.2[potato], Pentium):

First thing I noticed: The -ansi flag must be removed from the Makefile in
Linux systems,
or certain prototyped won't be defined (e.g. strdup). Also, the line

#include <getopt.h>

should be included in OSHeaders.h

Other than that, it's just compiling with -D__FreeBSD__ . I'm testing
building libQTFileLib
as a shared library. I'm sure it will be useful to someone this way.

maybe we can think of something together...  The current #define's  system
is OK
for now, but when you add some more OS's, it's going to get unwieldly...

Well, I tried yesterday, and just discovered gstep-make doesn't recognize
*.cpp files.
As I lack the expertise to add then, it's either (a) bug the developers to
add it or (b) wing
it with a new Makefile.

Hm... The OSHeaders in QTFileLib was simple enough... Haven't looked at the
Server yet in this matter...
However, it uses Mach cthreads! Anyone know how to convert this code to
pthreads? I'm stumped on that...

NachOS? Nice pun in an OS name... Never heard of it, though. Any good?

So, anybody else working on it, or are just the two of us? Let's get
together, folks!
