+Subject: fix musl compatibility
+X-Git-Tag: release-1.0.26~9
+X-Git-Url: http://www.tinc-vpn.org/git/browse?p=tinc;a=commitdiff_plain;h=a04fd9d0c9babca461cee186677db8f607677c6a;hp=bb616245b7883ab30291cd8d46672ed2ae733166
+
+fix musl compatibility
+
+Let configure include sys/if_tun.h when testing for netinet/if_ether.h
+to detect the Kernel/libc header conflict on musl.
+
+After this patch, configure will correctly detect netinet/if_ether.h as
+unusable and the subsequent compilation will not attempt to use it.
