Hello, what exactly does not get built? You need to follow the build instructions at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/fox/build_inst/ as discussed in chat. I told you that _I_ usually have a full-install of the most recent Solaris 10 CCD-(DVD) aka /opt/sfw. You said you don't like to waste disk space. Now you have a different environment than most fox-team contributors (probably) have. This must not lead to anything different, but it well can. Then, as I mentioned, this is what I use as $PATH (the order may matter in a few cases) : export PATH=/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/onbld/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/dtbld/bin:/opt/jdsbld/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/opt/sfw/sbin:/usr/ucb Else: I know that you are using SXCR now, not Indiana. This is good. Otherwise unexpected results (missing dependencies [libs and headers]). Further: In case you fetched a fox-gate version from this Sunday, then - and only then - it can indeed be that only "half of the build" succeeded. Otherwise, are you maybe drawing wrong conclusions from comparing the pure numbers of packages built vs. not built at the end? This is misleading, as many of the pkgdefs which the X11 group has opened up cover EOL'ed closed src stuff from /usr/openwin. No wonder they packages cannot be generated, because the closed Xsun files are missing from the proto area. Then a few other pkgdefs have been added by myself a month ago and are in premature state. So the number of packages built vs. not buildt may appear misleading at first. For details I recommend you that you verfy the global build logfile fox-gate/log/buildit-XW__200801026sun and the package creation logfile fox-gate/XW_NV/proto-packages/logs/package_build Much success then. Normally 99% should build. %martin
