Date: 13 Jan 1994 12:33:12 GMT Organization: University of Wales, Bangor Lines: 32 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2h3f28$hc6@clss3.bangor.ac.uk> Reply-To: tom@sees.bangor.ac.uk NNTP-Posting-Host: sol.bangor.ac.uk Hello All, I currently have NetBSD 0.9 installed on my PC and would like to move on to NetBSD-current. I pulled all the sources from the tar-files directory on src.doc.ic.ac.uk, and agate.berkeley.edu (since two of the files didn't look right on src.doc.ic. I uncompressed and untarred the files into my /usr/src directory and tried to build by typing make... The first failure was in /usr/src/lib/csu where the Makefile beleived that the subdirectory to be build was g++ instead of c++. Once I changed this, the compiliation failed while trying to build the c++rt0.o file with the -fpic flag to the compiler. I assumed that my current version of gcc was not able to build pic. Thus I attempted to build the gnu directory. This failed when building CursesW.cc in libg++. Firstly there were a few pages of warnings of implicitly defined functions in CursesW.h A function call in /usr/include/curses.h didn't appear to have the correct number of parameters. The upshot of all this is, are there any documents or mailing lists which could guide me on this process?
