RE: FreeBSD make on other platforms [was: Re: Building FreeBSD onLinux]
Hi Giorgos, The build failed for me 'with a syntax error before __dead2 '. Are there any special include files I am supposed to have? I had trouble with the autoconf version I had installed and had to upgrade to the latest. Then I was able to move past, autoconf, automake, configure. Whhen I went to make I got that error. It looks like __dead2 is a #define in cdefs.h found in some BSD installs. I am building on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 and the sys/cdefs.h file does not see to define __dead2. Is this make file supposed to build on Linux. If so are there pe-reqs before I can build it.

I have found in my vaults a script that downloads pmake source from your favorite FreeBSD's mirror and builds a binary that worked on (at least one workstation running) Linux. 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]

Then I was able to move past, autoconf, automake, configure. The project is in its 'prenatal' stage yet, but I'm trying to move a bit faster towards a buildable source tree on Linux.

There's still a fair amount of work to make the source tree buildable on non-FreeBSD platforms. One of the next steps should be to make these FreeBSD-specific bits (mostly stuff from src/sys/sys/cdefs.h) available outside of the full FreeBSD src/ tree too. Happily, the FreeBSD source is BSD-licensed, so I can import parts of it to the bmake source tree easily :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
