Yes I am still struggling. Ran dpkg-buildpackage -uc -B, and it identified the package as hurd, version 19991004. Ran debian/rules and the aclocal and autoconf generated a configuration script. Ran the configuration script, and started make. There seemed to be an error in serversboot/Makefile as it could not find boot_script.c, moved the vpath towards the start of the Makefile and this fixed this. The build ran for several hours building about 20 library files. It then tried to make serversboot and the link failed. The error messages were: /home/cal/hurd/serversboot/load.c:375: undefined reference to `set_regd` /home/cal/hurd/exec/exec.c:737: undefined reference to `elf_machine_matches_host` and also check_hashband, ports_create_port, ports_get_right, ports_port_deref, plus others Would appreciate any advice Chris > > -- > `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
