Summary: Getting R6 to work under NetBSD
Keywords: NetBSD i386 X11R6


Has anybody been successful with getting X11R6 running under NetBSD ?

When making World it's failing after trying to create a new Makefile
with the compiled imake. It fails with both gnumake and bsdmake.

All comments are concerning the main Makefile.

The Imake.rules contain a tab in line 1092 which causing make to 
believe the produced variable-definition-lines are commands.

Also the CppSedMagic doesn't seem to be called up for the makefiles
thus XCOMM is put in the Makefile multiple times.

All these errors are in the section which is presumably being
made by makedepend. 

It seems to try to include the complete Imakefile in the Makefile
which causes multiple labels to exist twice.

Even if one cleans the main Makefile, all Makefiles produce with
the command 'make Makefiles' are also faulty i.e. they also contain
bad lines.

If more information is needed or you have any hints please go ahead
and ask/tell.

Thx in advance.
The configuration is NetBSD-current (1.0) i386 and a plain X11R6
If there is already a new XFree for R6 please say so.
Cheerio
