compiling FreeBSD date on Linux

[francis keyes]

I added "#include <time.h>" to date .c but still get some errors:

date.c: In function ‘setthetime’:
date.c:192: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
/tmp/ccZTmvsY.o: In function `netsettime':
netdate.c:(.text+0x1f1): undefined reference to `strlcpy'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried downloading the source to strlcpy and compiling with everything
else:
gcc -o date date.c netdate.c vary.c strlcpy.c

It compiles now with the warning:
date.c: In function ‘setthetime’:
date.c:192: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast


... but it doesn't work.  The output of "./date" is:

%+


I'm going to keep playling with it...
