In my case, I want to keep builds separate because of the possibility of building in three ways: NetBSD with gcc-4.8.3, FreeBSD with llvm/clang 3.4.1 or FreeBSD with gcc47. I am now in NetBSD console, X refuses to start, apparently managed to build jam, got two jams: haiku/buildtools/lam/jam0 and haiku/buildtools/jam/bin.netbsdx86/jam and wonder which to use, would want to rename jam0 to nbjam0 to distinguish it from something I might build with FreeBSD. Maybe I need to rename jambase.c as well, to nbjambase.c ? Building jam failed with make: make: "/home/arlene1164/haiku/buildtools/jam/Makefile" line 55: Missing dependency operator make: "/home/arlene1164/haiku/buildtools/jam/Makefile" line 59: Need an operator make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue make: stopped in /home/arlene1164/haiku/buildtools/jam but succeeded with gmake, producing (listing only new files): -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 278 Jul 13 23:19 buildn.log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 104277 Jul 13 23:19 jam0 -rw-r--r-- 1 dbus wheel 31042 Jul 13 23:19 jambase.c drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 13 23:19 bin.netbsdx86 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2172 Jul 13 23:19 buildng.log bin.netbsdx86 subdirectory contained -rwx--x--x 1 root wheel 113962 Jul 13 23:19 jam -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8416 Jul 13 23:19 jam.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 64232 Jul 13 23:19 jambase.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 159572 Jul 13 23:19 libjam.a -rwx--x--x 1 root wheel 9921 Jul 13 23:19 mkjambase -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3584 Jul 13 23:19 mkjambase.o I still need to fix the permissions/ownership to user arlene1164 or arlene, group TC1. I noticed your header line User-Agent: Beam 1.2alpha am curious what this mail user agent is. Tom
