Since there seems to be so much interest in running FreeBSD make(1) on other platforms, I've committed what I have done so far to http://hg.hellug.gr/bmake/gker. It's not a full port of FreeBSD make(1) yet, but anyone interested to help is invited to hop in and give me a hand :) The main goal of this `project' is to have a fully buildable version of FreeBSD make(1) on Linux and Solaris, so that one can build FreeBSD-like makefiles by running: /usr/local/bin/bmake [ -f BSDmakefile ] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Debian has a package 'freebsd5-buildutils', which includes a version of make that runs on GNU/Linux. I used it for a while when I was too lazy to port some makefiles to GNU make. I don't know, however, if it'll build more recent versions of FreeBSD than 5.x. Besides FreeBSD, I run Gentoo Linux also, so I ssh'ed over to that system (to june) and asked 'emerge' is make existed. I got 2 hits (that were BSD makes, I actually got abouot 30 hits of various kinds), they were: sys-devel/make NetBSD's make sys-devel/pmakefrom NetBSD also pmake, that's the root name for our own make. There's nothing in our make that is intrinsically non-portable, but over thje years, step by step (and I mouned everyone, I felt them to be distinct mistakes) various of make's routines were reorganized into libraries that had non-portable parts. This has made out make distinctly non-portable, even though there isn't one single item in it that is iin itself non-portable. Once, for an employer, I ripped all the mini-pieces of code from all those single libs, and constructed one single, portable library, which made our make portable to anything, even Windows. There's no reason is couldn't happen, except that a lot of folks don't care a whit about portability, and like their idea of elegance more. Me, I like standards more. You could still assemble a libmake, it takes time, but it's in itself not all that difficult to do. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Building FreeBSD on Linux
I installed/bootstrapped NetBSD pkgsrc on the linux box. This comes with bmake(which I think standas for bsdmake). But fails else where.

Building FreeBSD on Linux
Hi, I am trying to build all of FreeBSD from a Linux Machine and seem to be running into problems. We have farm of build machines that we use to build many other things and my team would look like to use it going forward for our FreeBSD development. Has anyone tried this before? I have tried GNU Make 3.80 as well as pmake. And I can't seem to find bmake for Linux. Can anyone tell me why this might be failing or point me in the right directiion.
