  8. 				Atheros <span class="application">Open Powerline Toolkit</span> programs reference POSIX functions and constants where possible. Specifically, they make wide use of the data types <code class="constant">uint8_t</code>, <code class="constant">uint16_t</code> and <code class="constant">uint32_t</code> which are defined in file <code class="filename">stdint.h</code>. Microsoft <span class="productname">Visual C</span>™ and <span class="productname">.NET</span>™ environments do not include this file. Consequently, Atheros provides an <a class="ulink" href="stdint.h.html" target="_top">alternative</a> in folder <code class="filename">../Windows/include</code>. This file is open source and was designed to be compatible with the Microsoft development environments; however, you may occassionally experience warnings about the "benign redefinition" for some of these data types.

  10. 				Where possible, this toolkit includes <span class="productname">OpenBSD</span>™ network constants because the OpenBSD project pioneered many of the common network protocols and applications used today. Some systems do not include all <span class="productname">OpenBSD</span>™ network header files or do not define all <span class="productname">OpenBSD</span>™ network constants. Specifically, Microsoft systems do not provide file <code class="filename">netinet/if_ether.h</code> and so an <a class="ulink" href="if_ether.h.html" target="_top">alternative</a> is included in folder <code class="filename">../Windows/include/netinet</code> and <span class="productname">Windows</span>™ applications should include it.

  12. 				When the <span class="command"><strong>gcc -std=iso9899:1999</strong></span> option is enabled, some <span class="productname">OpenBSD</span>™ header files found on <span class="application">GNU/Linux</span> systems will exclude required constant definitions because they do not conform to that standard. Atheros is investigating the best way to address this problem.

  14. 				On some systems,  such as <span class="productname">OpenBSD</span>™, <span class="productname">FreeBSD</span>™ and <span class="productname">Mac OS X</span>™, header files must be included in specific order to avoid compilation errors. We have done our best to deal with this problem. Visit the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Header-Portability.html" target="_top">GNU Autocnf Project</a> for more information about this.
