Support for musl - Githubissues

Bun commented 7 years ago

Not all Linux distributions use glibc, support for musl (used by e.g. Alpine) would be great.

So far I've had to make the following adjustments to the source to get it to compile:

Remove the "backtrace" functionality
Remove the "malloc_stats" functionality
Replace (comparison_fn_t)strcmp with (int (*)(const void*, const void*))strcmp in readDiskCounters

Since these changes mostly remove functionality, I am not sure what the acceptable solution would be in this case. Maybe simply put some of these features behind #ifdef __GLIBC__? I can submit a trivial patch for this if desired.

Yes, sounds good. Please submit a pull-request or patch with the minimum changes.

FYI, I've been successfully running hsflowd on Alpine 3.4+ for a while now (nflog and pcap) with this patch applied, so consider this resolved.
