Fail to build for kfreebsd in libavformat/sctp.c

Hi,

0.11 fail to build for KfreeBSD (Debian Unstable) with this error :

In file included from libavformat/sctp.c:41:0:

I've found where I've already seen a fix for that.
Here is the log entry for svn revision 34896 in mplayer.

build: Check if SCTP is available

  Test for SCTP and remove it from the list of libavformat
protocols in case the test did not succeed or the feature
was explicitly disabled.

  Unconditionally trying to build it, as it was done before
if you had a new enough libavformat version that contains
that feature, is obviously not a good idea.

  This patch is closely based on a patch from Johan Andersson.

Sorry for the late reply
The build log link is sadly 404, but iam not sure it would help
about the mplayer check, we check for the header as well but obviosuly this isnt enough.
the relevant part of our configure is
check_header netinet/sctp.h
and
sctp_protocol_deps="network netinet_sctp_h"

the error you quote is in the system header though which is a bit odd and would indicate that the header is buggy. Seeing the content of the systemheader in which the error happens may help understand better where the problem is

You can find headers here :
