Hi I just spent all night installing debian gnu/hurd on my 486, and today I thought I'd even try compiling something ;)
It seems to me, though, as most makefiles and many build scripts get hosed because they can't find the current directory. I get messages like these (these are from trying to build openssl): make: getcwd: : Gratuitous error pwd: cannot get current directory: Gratuitous error This also leads make to try and exec stuff like /util/point.sh, because the getcwd calls return nothing much. I figure that since people have successfully built software on the hurd before me, there must be a solution to this problem? Oystein -- ssh -c rot13 otherhost
