[Libevent-users] hi, i install libevent1.3 and 1.4beta on freebsd7 beta, and it cant' run the test normal

[Phil Oleson]

I've reported this wierdness to Niels in the past.  FreeBSD's /bin/sh differs
from some other platforms in that when this happens (from test.sh):

unset EVENT_NOKQUEUE
export EVENT_NOKQUEUE

the unset removes the EVENT_NOKQUEUE from the environment, and the export re-adds
it with an undefined Rvalue.  So as the library just checks for the existence of the
EVENT_NOxxxx environment variables to disable a event mechanism, the test.sh program
fails.  The behavior of /bin/sh differs on other platforms and as the ports tree version
of libevent never actually runs the test.sh script, it hasn't been a big concern.
( to fix for yourself edit the test.sh and remove the export lines after the unset line )

	-Phil.
