For example, `mkdir foobar/` will not work on GNU. This is POSIX compatible. POSIX says that the path of a directory may have slashes appended to it. But the directory does not exist yet, so the path does not refer to a directory, and hence trailing slashes are not guaranteed to work. Just drop the slashes, and you're fine. - ## <a name="Missing_termio_h_tt_"> Missing `termio.h` </a> Change it to use `termios.h` (check for it properly with autoconf `HAVE_TERMIOS_H` or the `__GLIBC__` macro) @@ -233,6 +229,6 @@ Not implemented, will always fail.

This is incorrect because `libc6` is specific to GNU/Linux. The corresponding package for GNU is `libc0.3-dev` but other OSes will have different ones. You can locate the problem in the `debian/control` file of the source tree. Typical solutions include detecting the OS using `dpkg-architecture` and hardcoding the soname, or better, use a logical OR. eg: `libc6-dev | libc0.3-dev | libc-dev`. The `libc-dev` is a virtual package that works for any soname but you have to put it only as the last option. +There is no programming interface for the parallel port on GNU/Hurd yet. |
