Hi, thanks for reporting.

For OpenBSD systems you could use a stand alone argp library from argp-standalone package. Experimenting with OpenBSD I have discovered that v1.0.0 release does not build because of some linux specific includes. Issues are fixed in new v1.0.1 release.

Example for compiling on OpenBSD:

wget https://github.com/fln/addrwatch/releases/download/v1.0.1/addrwatch-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar xzf addrwatch-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd addrwatch-1.0.1
pkg_add argp-standalone
./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
make
./src/addrwatch        # start the application
