Re: [9fans] dyncall on Plan9

["Tassilo Philipp" <tphilipp@potion-studios.com>]

Hi,

thanks for the feedback. You are right about the error... However, at the
moment, I don't have callback support on Plan9, so this is an ugly detail
that I try to build it unsuccessfully, but it doesn't block you from using
dyncall which seems to build fine on your machine.

I'm sorry for this inconvenience, please change a line in dyncall/mkfile
from:

DIRS  = dyncall dyncallback dynload

to:

DIRS  = dyncall

to get rid of this error (and yes, there is no dynload support, either, at
the time of writing). I hope to get dyncallback support in for 0.7...
well, I shouldn't have forgotten to change the line mentioned above... oh
well ;)

You can svn checkout the latest version, which includes the fix.

Thanks,
Tassilo
