I've tried compile dpkg on freebsd and atheos. Unfortunately, dpkg is linux-centric.
I.e. dpkg requires gcc. I think dpkg should fallback to compile-time defaults.

I've included line to archtable: i386-freebsd4.0 freebsd-i386 undefined Unfortunately, I should include entry for each release (freebsd4.1, etc.). I think archtable could search substring (*i386-freebsd*). config.guess doesn't detect atheos, but it isn't problem as far as we have ./configure --host= option. Another idea, if system isn't detected, we can find it by 'uname'. I'd like to fixup these problems. Can I send some patches? -- Piotr Roszatycki, SD Specialist, InterNetia Telekom .''`. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' `-
