while I'm in a hurry and trying to generate my own 4.2, I found out that this is not easily possible: Building X11 from source (FAQ#5) requires tcl and tk to be installed. but tk requires X11 to be installed before it can be built. So, if I need expat (yes, for python-expat), I'm kind of stuck since the expat port is also disabled: # make install ===> expat-2.0.0p0 -- expat comes with OpenBSD as of release 4.2. IOW, I'll have to fiddle with it to get the expat port compile in order to subsequently avoid installing xbase which I can't compile. How do you guys actually bootstrap it? Best, --Toni++
