well, i managed to compile everything using some combination of ranlib $PLAN9/bin/lib/*, mk nuke and mk all. i think it goes like this:
run ./INSTALL, see it crash run 'mk all' in $PLAN9/src/cmd & get arch errors as above run "ranlib $PLAN9/lib/*.a" run 'mk all' in $PLAN9/src/cmd & get TOC errors instead run "ranlib $PLAN9/lib/*.a" now mk all compiles... strange? this does not work if I do ranlib on each .a file individually. as for devdraw, i get crashes for acme. colors works but doesn't display text for each color, tcolors gives this short message (devdraw-cocoa instead of just cocoa): $ tcolors 2011-09-06 14:22:28.501 devdraw[95453:707] here 2011-09-06 14:22:28.505 devdraw[95453:707] setShowsApplicationBadge: is not yet implemented for the NSApp dockTile <- tag=1 Tinit label='colors' winsize='' 2011-09-06 14:22:28.524 devdraw[95453:707] here 2011-09-06 14:22:28.526 devdraw[95453:707] setShowsApplicationBadge: is not yet implemented for the NSApp dockTile -> tag=1 Rinit <- tag=1 Twrdraw 2 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 2 <- tag=1 Trddraw 145 -> tag=1 Rrddraw 144 %H% <- tag=1 Twrdraw 51 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 51 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 51 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 51 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 51 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 51 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 4341 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 4341 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 14 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 14 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 51 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 51 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 46 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 46 <- tag=1 Twrdraw 51 %H% -> tag=1 Rwrdraw 51 <- tag=2 Trdmouse Bus error: 10
