So first, pacman will assume if you are running a unix-like, it checks for 'Darwin' and then 'Android', and ends up defaulting with 'Linux'. (This creates another issue as the Linux HTTPCMD involves wget, which is not in the base OpenBSD system, it would have to use curl(1) like 'Darwin').
Then, it seems, around line 260 of pacman.ijs in the jsource/jlibrary dir, pacman chooses how to deal with the zips it gets, based on OS, this time no case ends up true and so this is bypassed, i guess. On line 370 is where the tar command's options are set. This becomes tricky because, IIRC, BSD's tar is different from GNU tar, but I don't recall how. I think I remember pacman attempting to download the windows zip file, not the linux tar however, which would create another problem, but that I can't be sure of. Ultimately though, fixing the stuff in the jsource/jlibrary becomes moot. If you do manage to get just the base library installed, it will replace the jsource/jlibrary/pacman.ijs with the base8/pacman version. Also, I have uploaded the changes I have made to github. I just tested the compilation, and it works on my system (no stdlib issues, etc). It is available here: https://github.com/stepvhen/jsource/tree/openbsd [2018-06-07 14:06] > > Ok.
