Hey all,
  I'm running OpenBSD 4.2/i386 and am booting bsd.mp. I have brought over
a
linux program that uses gcc as the compiler.

I have installed the following sets:

- gmake-3.80p1.tgz
- gettext-0.14.6p0.tgz
- libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz

and when I do a "gmake" I get the following two errors:

- " /bin/gmake[1]: ELF: not found"
- "/bin/gmake[365]: no closing quote

any ideas?

Thanks,
v.

gmake != gcc != g++



Hi,
  This worked for me on a different system running the amd64 image, but
trying the same process with the same sets on a i386 (bsd.mp) image, I get
the error...not sure why? If I have a linux app, should I be able to build
with the native bsd make or do I need GNU (gmake)?

thanks in advance.
We need more info:
- you list 3 applications you installed, to compile with gcc, but you don't list gcc
- you have an error /bin/gmake[1]: ELF: not found line 1, the shabang.
on my system which gmake returns /usr/local/bin/gmake
- an error as "no closing quotes" can be what it means. It can be an error of the author. It can be caused by a Linuxism as using Ctrl+Enter to write a non-breaking space. Can be caused by a plain cp from one slice to the other without using FTP or NFS
(which make the needed conversions as dos2unix ...)
List goes on.  Can be a bug.
- have both systems you tried on the same toolchain?

What is a Linux app?
Portable sources should not have problems to compile with the proper toolchain.
