Wim is the OP, not me. Otherwise, you are correct: we don't have cross-build facilities in MacPorts like FreeBSD ports has (and, to be honest, I wouldn't want to rely on even those to build cross-platform RPMs). Correct answer here is VirtualBox or Parallels with the target distribution running as a guest. (I personally like Parallels a little better, find it a bit faster than vbox; I'm also told that many people on Lion get kernel panics from vbox, although as yet I have managed not to trigger that failure mode.) -- brandon s allbery allber...@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
