ok, as said.. I completed debianising the chroot jail, and with a simple script you can generate a sane GNU/FreeBSD build environment using debian packages exclussively (well, and a pair of tarballs for glibc, binutils and freebsd-utils). you can get them from: http://people.debian.org/~rmh/gnu-freebsd/ there's a lot of pending work, specialy in fixing realy unhappy packages, like dpkg and apt-get. if anyone wants to help, see the ./misc/TODO file. also have a look at the ./misc/patches dir, there are fixes and/or hacks to build many packages. i've submitted some of them already but i'm currently holding untill libtool is fixed (bug #192918), so we can tell the maintainers to update config.{guess,sub} and libtool.m4 when submitting a patch. -- Robert Millan make: *** No rule to make target `war'.
