-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have not been able to build it on Linux. I get:

../include/ntp_syscall.h:29: warning: `struct ntptimeval' declared inside
parameter list
../include/ntp_syscall.h:29: warning: its scope is only this definition or
declaration,
../include/ntp_syscall.h:29: warning: which is probably not what you want.
../include/ntp_syscall.h: In function `ntp_gettime':
../include/ntp_syscall.h:36: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
../include/ntp_syscall.h:37: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
../include/ntp_syscall.h:38: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

It seems that the ntptimeval structure is being referenced, but is not
defined by the prior includes in ntp_syscall.h.

I am building it by:
./configure --prefix=/usr
./config.guess
make
make install
which worked for previous versions.

Yes, somebody else reported it, too.

Linux has a broken/defective sys/timex.h .

I'll work on a patch tomorrow.

In the meantime, edit the generated config.h file and disable
KERNEL_PLL.

In addition, the Arcron MSF clock driver (27) no longer seems to work in any
4.x build that I Have tried. Worked perfectly in 3.x. Please could
somebody fix.....

As I said on 14th July, we're working on it here, and will post our fixes when
we're completely happy.

I downloaded the latest version of NTP (within last two weeks), and built 64 bit
code under Solaris 7 and it is working with the Arcron Clock.
If any one is interested I will make the compiled binaries available on my
companies ftp site . I have modified the code to use the directory /etc/inet as
the default directory for ntp.conf.
