*@Viral*, yes, indeed I was the submitter of those patches. Unfortunately, I realized that part of the C code has a number of #ifdefs that do not cover OpenBSD properly. Maybe I should create a bugreport in openlibm to keep track of this?
*@Yychao*, thank you very much for this tip! It has saved me a lot of time, as I have found problems with other dependencies as well (OpenBLAS, PCRE, and FFTW, at the moment). With your trick, I have been able to solve them all. At the moment I am struck with Rmath-julia, which shows similar problems as openlibm. In this case, the code seems simpler, and I have already made a pull request (https://github.com/JuliaLang/Rmath-julia/pull/9). *@Viral*, is there an easy workaround to force the build system to use the HEAD of a dependency instead of a tagged commit? I have tried to understand how julia/deps/Makefile works, but it is full of GNU Make constructs which I do not grasp... Thanks a lot, Maurizio.
