I got a *bit* further by editing the port's Makefile and adding CC = /usr/local/bin/egcc (from the gcc4 pkgsrc package). That got me an illegal opcode message (ldx instruction). I notice OpenBSD still uses binutils 2.17. I'm having a go at building 2.27 now to see if that assembler will recognise some of these opcodes better. It'll either work, or I'll find out why OpenBSD uses the older version. ;-) As for Firefox, it runs out of RAM building it. I'm not sure if I can add a temporary swap file to give me a bit of virtual memory, I'll have to research this. The alternative being to back up what I have, re-install with a bigger swap partition, then restore. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
