Thank you very much! >So if you wanted to list that on your web site, you could do that.

Okay, thanks. I’ll add/change this. >I also wanted to report a bug I found. When building, it says: > >Hi from $MirOS: src/bin/mksh/Build.sh,v 1.655 2014/01/05 21:57:21 tg Exp $ on: >$ hwprefs machine_type os_type os_class >&2 >| ./Build.sh: line 211: hwprefs: command not found > >It seems you're deliberately targeting Darwin OS (i.e. OS X) and in Actually, I was just trying to shove some information about the environment the shell was built in into the log, in case I get asked questions by packagers.

For example: Will add these (I’ll keep hwprefs for people building on older systems though).

Basically anything you can imagine either upstream or a porter or packager could want to know about the operating environment when debugging a build “post-mortem”, from the build log. >Please Cc me on replies; I'm not subscribed to the list. Sure. http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.miros.mksh also exists, feel free to use it. (The list is rather new; older mksh- related questions are at gmane.os.miros.general intermixed with generic MirBSD stuff. miros-mksh is forwarded to all miros-discuss subscribers.) bye, //mirabilos -- ah, that reminds me, thanks for the stellar entertainment that you and certain other people provide on the Debian mailing lists │ sole reason I subscribed to them (I'm not using Debian anywhere) is the entertainment factor │ Debian does not strike me as a place for good humour, much less German admin-style humour
