Hello I have been away from BSD for a while, I've played around with installing different flavors as a guest under KVM. I downloaded both the source and binary (amd64) copies of 7.0-RC3 and installed it in a virtual machine.
I tried compiling programs under /usr/src (after unpacking the source files, of course) for the sake of kicking the tires, but didn't have a lot of luck. Trying to compile /usr/src/usr.bin/tr resulted in this: === beasty# cd ~ beasty# pwd /root beasty# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/tr beasty# make # compile tr/str.o /usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-7.0_RC3-amd64/bin/x86_64--netbsd-gcc -O2 -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-traditional -Wa,--fatal-warnings -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -Wold-style-definition -Wsign-compare -Wformat=2 -Wno-format-zero-length -Werror --sysroot=/ -c str.c sh: /usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-7.0_RC3-amd64/bin/x86_64--netbsd-gcc: not found *** Error code 127 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/src/usr.bin/tr beasty# make tr # compile tr/str.o /usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-7.0_RC3-amd64/bin/x86_64--netbsd-gcc -O2 -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-traditional -Wa,--fatal-warnings -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -Wold-style-definition -Wsign-compare -Wformat=2 -Wno-format-zero-length -Werror --sysroot=/ -c str.c sh: /usr/src/tooldir.NetBSD-7.0_RC3-amd64/bin/x86_64--netbsd-gcc: not found *** Error code 127 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/src/usr.bin/tr beasty# uname -a NetBSD beasty 7.0_RC3 NetBSD 7.0_RC3 (GENERIC.201508110747Z) amd64 beasty# gcc -v Using built-in specs.

Can someone explain to me what the process is to build userland tools individually? Thanks in advance!
