HTML is good for me, but HTML viewer is not included in BSD base systems.
Linux base system is not well-defined among the many distributions.
I made the changes, but failed for a different reason:
Starting build of type regular ...
warning: unknown rule SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS=
WebKit build feature not available for x86_gcc2
Gutenprint support not available on x86
qrencode support not available on x86
/home/nbarlene/haiku/haiku/src/build/libsolv/Jamfile: Please add a case for
your platform (netbsd)!
WebKit, Gutenprint and qrencode errors look like something that would fail
equally buiding from NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux or possibly even native Haiku.
I can't see where configure script stores what to build (jam).
Is there any way to tell jam to skip these packages, or do I have to rerun
nbconfigure in another "generated" directory?
My configure command was
../nbconfigure --build-cross-tools x86_gcc2 ../../buildtools
--build-cross-tools x86 --use-xattr-ref --include-gpl-addons --include-3rdparty
Maybe the latter two or three parts were overambitious?
From FreeBSD, I succeeded building x86_gcc2 but failed on x86 (gcc4). It looks
like I would not be able to jam for x86_gcc2 only (nothing in build
subdirectory) but would have to start over.
The last line of the log regards HAVE_FUNOPEN and FOPENCOOKIE, also
HAVE_QSORT_R or HAVE__QSORT:
# One of the following must be defined:
# * HAVE_FUNOPEN / HAVE_FOPENCOOKIE
#
# One of the following can be defined:
# * HAVE_QSORT_R / HAVE___QSORT ?
switch $(HOST_PLATFORM) {
case linux :
DEFINES += HAVE_STRCHRNUL HAVE_QSORT_R HAVE_FOPENCOOKIE ;
case haiku_host :
DEFINES += HAVE_FOPENCOOKIE ;
case freebsd :
DEFINES += HAVE_FUNOPEN ;
case darwin :
DEFINES += HAVE_FUNOPEN HAVE_QSORT_R ;
case * :
Exit $(SUBDIR)/Jamfile: "Please add a case for your platform"
"($(HOST_PLATFORM))!" ;
}
I see "man funopen" and "man qsort" in section 3, but no fopencookie; also
openbsd is absent in the above cited lines.
I guess I need to add
case netbsd :
DEFINES += HAVE_FUNOPEN
or possibly change "case freebsd" to "case freebsd, netbsd" : syntax that I
believe works in C and C++, but am not sure about jamfiles.
