Taught hands-on Apache workshop; used my NetBSD 1.6 live CD which had default install of Apache under /usr/local/apache2. Learned that the mount_null bug of reclaiming used filesystem space is not fixed :( The fix I used before helped by reclaiming space when deleted from in the nullfs, but the patch didn't fix it for deleting files from the underlying filesystem.

My son told me about some game he wanted to play called Chip's Challenge. I found it (tileworld/tworld) and ported it. It uses SDL. It had problems linking, so I was receiving errors like:

undefined reference to `__main'

First this was caused by using wrong make. (I thought it was using gmake, because I was using GNU_CONFIGURE. Then I added all the needed libraries to the particular make line.

I had similar problems with building SDL using defendguin back on November 2. (By the way, I imported defendguin to wip-pkgsrc on 22/May/2003.)
