OpenBSD 3.9

I got Ice 3.0.1 to compile on OpenBSD 3.9 (current version to date). It also passed all the tests. I am far from an expert with Ice, so I can't say it is a stable build or anything like that. But it seems to run a simple application I am working on. I also have built IcePy on OpenBSD and it didn't require any changes.

I had to up the number of open file descriptors for login accounts by setting openfiles-cur in /etc/login.conf. Setting it to 128 seemed to allow all tests to pass.

I also found that you must specify the host name for proxies as mentioned in this post:

And finally, I have attached the patch to 3.0.1 for OpenBSD 3.9
