Hi all,
We are currently reworking the way dmidecode handles big-endian
systems, and systems where unaligned memory access is prohibited. The
new code is safer and more elegant, however it relies on functions and
macros which may or may not be available on all systems. And these are
defined in header files which may or may not be available on all
systems. So these changes could easily cause a build breakage on some
systems.
While I am able to test the new code on a variety of Linux systems, I
would need some help for the other operating systems. So if you run
dmidecode on any of the following operating systems and would be
willing and able to test-build the new code and provide feedback, that
would be appreciated:
* FreeBSD
* NetBSD
* OpenBSD
* Solaris/OpenSolaris/Illumos
If you can't build code, but can answer questions on whether some
macros, functions or header files are available on such systems, that
would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
