Created attachment 122324 [details, diff] gnome-vfs-2.16.3-fbsd.patch this patch fix the compilation issue without compromising the portability of the source code on different archs. patch reported upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448473
If configure.ac doesn't check already for sys/sysmacros.h the patch has to be rejected, it needs to be checked to use HAVE_*_H.
excerpt from config.h.in /* Define to 1 if you have the <sys/sysmacros.h> header file. */ #undef HAVE_SYS_SYSMACROS_H
Created attachment 122335 [details, diff] gnome-vfs-2.16.3-fbsd.patch this patch add also a AC_CHECK_HEADERS into configure.h so the configure process show the checking of the libs (as required by @Flameeyes). thank you @Flameeyes and @eva for the support.
2.18 is fixed
