Does anyone here know how to compile XFree86 4.3.0 from source for OpenBSD 3.3/SPARC?
I am running a SS/5 w/ 2.1 GB HD, 96 MB RAM, and OpenBSD 3.3 sans X11R6 packages is running on it.
I have already started compiling the source code (from gzipped tarballs at: www.xfree86.org), and have run into an impasse.
Here is my dilemma:
[as superuser]:
After:
# make World >& world.log # make install >& install.log # # vi install.log(The log reads:)
make: don't know how to make mkdirhier.sh /tmp/xc/config/util *** ERROR CODE 2 Stop in: /tmp/xc/config (line 1072 of Makefile) Stop in: /tmp/xc/ (line 1108 of xmakefile) Stop in: /tmp/xc (line 216 of Makefile)Can anyone help me with this.
I compiled from the 7 gzip'ed tarballs (XFree86src-1.tgz, etc.) from XFREE86.org, used cc as the C compiler, and unpacked everything into /tmp, a 700MB HD partition.
I have already debugged most of the configuration files needed by XF86, this was where I got stuck. No changes that were not outlined explicitly by the XFREE86 install notes and OpenBSD-specific notes were made to any configuration file."
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this possible to have XF86 4.3 on Sparc?

I doubt Xsun server has (ever) changed
SS5 is quite slow, so use Alpha/Pentium3/UltraSparc to fit build into one day

Hmm, Xsun, eh?
It hasn't been around for a while now:

Has deadly come to this level? I don't come here to answer support questions. I come here to find out what's going on with OBSD. My favorite Operating System.
I hate to be rude, to this guy who's obviously looking for an answer to his question but... please try to use appropriate means, mailing lists, support forums, etc. of which there are several.
Is anybody else with me, when I say that I don't want to come to deadly to read this?
Just needed to vent. Sorry Jose. Bygones!

yeah, maybe the poster should have groked through some archivs first, but i was hoping for some really interesting answer to this one. and i view these as a community building exercise, having the community help others out as they themselves get helped. *shrug*
you do have to admit i've been working on keeping the quality higher lately.

I love that it's low volume, and often even higher signal:noise than misc@.
