Hi Ole-Egil,
On 11/01/2005, you wrote:
BTW, have you tried the 68k pdksh with the native ixemul?
In this case pdksh wouldn't help, as OO.org is using csh build scripts. Csh is considered harmful by almost every who doesn't work at Sun, and it isn't script-compatible with any POSIX shell :-(
pdksh would be SO VERY, VERY NICE to have for all the dependencies, though. And all other things that are useful for porting in general :-)
When I was playing with Kaffe and ixemul, the GG installation had only pdksh, but that was enough to build and run Kaffe. The configure, make and Kaffe scripts called for "sh", but pdksh seemed to do the job. I had to make a few syntax changes to the make files, but nothing serious.
cheers
