There are no such things as development libraires on OpenBSD. If you install the 'x' sets you have all you need to build things by yourself from sources. You will have to rerun the autoconf tools in /usr/xenocara/driver/xf86-video-sunffb, so a few packages from ports are also needed. Check /usr/xenocara/README for instructions. -- Matthieu Herrb
