Compiling on freebsd 4.8

[Darax The Good]

My server is running FreeBSD 4.8, and apparently I don't have the 'atoll' function-so I thought I'd be clever and strip it down to atol. It worked and everything compiled (once I changed the macros in loader.c to not span multiple lines) and I went to start the server.

And I got caught in my little trick. It looks like the server is doing some sanity checks on startup-like making sure that the experience tables don't flatten off-and it is refusing to start.

So...

Has anyone succesfully compiled 1.7 on freebsd? Is there a library or something that i can get to make atoll part of my enlistment? Or is there an equivalient to atoi64/atoll for freebsd that I can go replacing this stuff with?

That should work. Use the patch program.
If you dont know how to use it, google for "how to use patch".

I did a #define atoll(n) strtoll(n,(char **)NULL,10)

in the files that needed it.

Now I await my port to be unblocked.

Blocked?
