It's still getting power macintosh from somewhere. The bootstrap script dies
trying to run this command:

Tracing it back it looks like it gets this string by running:
rpm --eval %_target
Hello Miles, looking at the specfile for the openpkg package (bootstrapper),
we download config.guess from GNU and then use it when compiling RPM source
(also downloaded). It is very likely that GNU or Redhat have to put some
priority on Darwin to make this work. I hope it does work in the end, though.

The rpm config.guess script translates uname -m to uname -p. Would this be
reasonable to do in openpkg as well?
Our 'shtool guessos' script does a little more than the standard RPM.
Since there seems to be some variation in what I expect the bootstrapper
to aknowlege from Darwin, lets be even more precise.
I am attaching a close relative from the shtool script which is uuencoded
into the bootstrapper. Please run 'shtool guessos' on your Darwin, and
lets see what happens. I think it will report 'powerpc-apple-macos'. You
might have to adjust the shell path after the shebang on the first line of
the shtool script, of course. I am pretty unfamiliar with Darwin, but
rather interested in any case. Good luck, and post the results to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not posting this there, because I don't
like MIME encoded mail on the mailing list.
Running shtool guessos gives me this output:
Power Macintosh-unknown-Darwin/6.0/Darwin Kernel Version 6.0: Sat Jul 27
13:18:52 PDT 2002; root:xnu/xnu-344.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC
Applying the following patch gives me powerpc-apple-darwin6.0, which is what
the config.guess script from rpm gives me. Is this reasonable?

No, the bootstrapping package named openpkg never included GNU make -- not in 1.0 nor in any -CURRENT version. 2. Are there any plans for Os X / Darwin support? Sure, as long as we have a machine available for porting. Unfortunately, currently we have no PowerPC box available where we can setup MacOS X / Darwin, hence we cannot do anything ourself here. The bootstrap procedure seems to work but the bootstrap package fails to install because the platform is identified as power macintosh and the space breaks the script. What's the proper fix here? Are there any hooks for munging/translating uname's output? With 1.1.0 the bootstrap package's vendor parts use a common config.guess/config.sub script. It is part of the package. All you have to do is to fix your platform support there and this way all parts of the bootstrap packaging should identify your platform correctly. But make sure that you also forward your changes to the GNU people to make sure your changes are not lost. If you show me the output of $ uname -a $ uname -m $ uname -s $ uname -r I can look for you into config.guess and try to help you... Ralf S.
