Worked on the 389-ds-base repository to enhance cross-platform build stability by addressing platform-specific issues with NSS include paths. Used C programming and build system configuration skills to implement a platform-agnostic solution that leverages pkg-config for resolving NSS include directories, replacing hard-coded paths and reducing build failures across different Linux distributions. This change improved the consistency of builds, streamlined onboarding for new environments, and increased CI reliability. The work focused on bug resolution rather than feature development, demonstrating a methodical approach to cross-platform development and build tooling, with particular attention to maintainability and compatibility in complex system environments.
