Hi, I've been working on getting MonetDB to build on OpenBSD. I'm not sure I'll get as far as building a port, but my patches are getting accepted [1] so at least I can get their source tree to build cleanly on OpenBSD.
I've hit a couple things I can't figure out. One is related to auto-tools crap. After I run their bootstrap script, I have to edit the configure.sh script so that every instance of "-lssl" is replaced by "-lssl -lcrypto". In a comment in the bug report [2], a MonetDB dev said "weird this is autoconf generated code". I'm hoping this is a fairly common issue with ports that use openssl. I grepped through the MonetDB code, but couldn't find a ".m4", a ".in", or ".am" file that creates this test. I'm pretty stuck on this one. The other issue is that they use a %pure_parser statement in their yacc code. Is this specific to bison? The OpenBSD 4.6 yacc failed to compile that line. If it is bison-specific, do they need to update their build to call bison or is there a way I can set a know to tell OpenBSD to use bison and not yacc.
