Not at this time. The problem is that I have /tmp, gcc in /gnu/emx, and other UNIX stuff in /contrib and /ucb which are nonstandard places w.r.t UX2BS. I believe (please correct if I'm wrong) that in order to install UX2BS it would require me really move stuff around.

It sounds to me as though UX2BS is not installed correctly. The 'too many open files' problem is something which I had a long time ago and was due to some weird combination of autoconf, sh and make. It shouldn't occur with the current UX2BS. In any event you will already be using autoconf 2.58 if UX2BS has been fully installed.

That depends on what sort of options they are... If they are configure options, they should go here:- #app#dir#archive#cflags#ldflags#cfgparms#makeparms#src#beginpath --------------------------------^^^^^^^^ Anything which requires pthreads won't build until pthreads has been incorporated into UX2BS.

Yes I think so. It did get some errors but 'Failed 7/867 test scripts, 99.19% okay. 26/79078 subtests failed, 99.97% okay.' so I assume it's pretty much ok.

On my system, I define %repository% as a network location and keep all the archives out of the main UNIXOS2 tree. This means I can easily clear everything down and start again from scratch without having to re-fetch the same archives. Rebuilding Perl is a bit of a pain, so I wouldn't suggest running the bootstrap just yet, although it might be something you could do overnight. What I'd like to know is the current state of your UX2BS... maybe update_base did not run correctly.

Currently, I wouldn't expect it to build really complicated apps, but there isn't any reason why it shouldn't eventually, after all Perl gets built fairly effortlessly. What I'm trying to ensure at the moment is that the major building blocks are buildable so that complex apps reliant on several libraries can be built in due course. > Regards - Rodney Pont > E-mail by PMMail - listm4 at infohitsystems.ltd.uk > > really weird out of context words courtesy of PMMail's spellchecker -- John _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 17 ==========================** Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 14:08:47 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: Re: What needs porting?

The archive contains a Makefile.in.in in that directory and configure creates a Makefile.in when it runs. Is that to be expected with PINFO? > I can't try it under UX2BS myself right now.
