from Adrien Destugues and my last post:
I notice references in the BuildSetup to FreeBSD 8, which is long past
end-of-life at FreeBSD's end, so I imagine support for cross-compiling
Haiku from FreeBSD has faded.
There have been changes to FreeBSD since then, so not everything would be
where Haiku build system expects.
Maybe I am better off with Linux.
Yes, currently.
I could search for occurrences of HOST_PLATFORM string in Haiku source tree
and try to make adjustments for FreeBSD and NetBSD, imagine the probability
of success would be low.
It should not be that hard, but if everytime you hit the sslightest
problem your answer is to turn to this mailing list, you would be better
of creating a ticket mentionning that "build from freebsd is broken" and
wait for someone to fix it. Otherwise, start fixing things, because
there are apparently not many people with FreeBSD machines willing to
help you here.
grep -Rn "HOST_PLATFORM" haiku 2>&1 | tee HOST_PLATFORM.lst
Seeing that tracking r1beta1 as well as master branch gives me a double
dose of "HOST_PLATFORM" occurrences, I have dropped r1beta1 and am now
tracking only master.
Beta1 was released and is not under active development anymore, why
would you bother with it?
Adrien.
