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.

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]"
