A simple way is to install a copy of 5.x userland (by using "make installworld" or using CD-ROM's ./install.sh script) to a jailed environment and then attach to the jail to do the build. Note that more hacking is needed if your application detects kern.osreldate etc. Cheers, -- Xin LI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.delphij.net/ FreeBSD - The Power to Serve!
