[collectd] compile problems on freebsd

[Ventsislav Velkov]

Hello octo,
Looks like this is the problem, at least now the collectd has compiled
without any errors. If there is any problem after the installation I will
write to the list.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Veno

Hi Ventsislav,

argh, not that problem again.. The problem here is that the files
`net/*.h' and `netinet/*.h' need to be included in a precise order
because they don't include the files they need themselves. I thought I
had figured it out since it's working for Linux (GNU libc), Solaris and
Mac OS X (Darwin), but apparently the UNIX-community has been even more
creative than usually.

I'll see if I can get access to a FreeBSD box somehow, iIrc a colleague
has some FreeBSD somewhere. Maybe you could try the following in the
meantime: Find the following three lines in `src/utils_dns.c'
-- 8< --
 #if HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H
 # include <sys/socket.h>
 #endif
-- >8 --
and move them BEFORE the following lines:
-- 8< --
 #if HAVE_NET_IF_ARP_H
 # include <net/if_arp.h>
 #endif
-- >8 --
Does that help?
