OpenBSD < 2.2 and NetBSD < 1.2.1:

You need to have a C compiler in order to build sudo.

Q) I don't run sendmail on my machine. Does this mean that I cannot
use sudo?
-A) No, you just need to comment out the MAILER #define in options.h.

Q) When I run visudo it uses vi as the editor and I hate vi. How
can I make it use another editor?

-Q) My C compiler complains about:
- "./options.h", line xx "/*" detected in comment
- Should I be worried?
-A) No, this is due to the way options are commented out in options.h.
- Some ANSI compilers are just a bit too protective.
- If anyone have a better way to that is just as easy to uncomment
- and that doesn't produce a similar warning, please let me know.
