compiling one's own GCC - configuration considerations

Hi, ports prrovide two gcc's 4.9 and 8. I have a program which compiles fine with up to gcc 7, also the system clang is too "new". On OpenBSD 6.4 I could use the system clang. Now, a solution would be to install gcc 6.5 or 7.4, a compiler which I know works fine on NetBSD and Linux for Arctic

seamonkey package x86

Hi, has the seamonkey package been removed or has it special issues? I see it available on amd64 but not on x86... although seamonkey-enimgmail is present. I'd like to avoid building it myself if it is known to fail and also it is oen fo the "big" packages to build on a laptop. Thank you, R

Hi, Henrik Friedrichsen wrote: Okay, a suspend & resume cycle seems to have fixed it somehow. if you check the archives, I think I rised the same issue with my ThinkPad T60. The annoyance is that you always need a suspend/resume cycle, after every boot. It looks like the max value is "off".

missing packages for SPARC

Hi, I was pkg_add'ing some essential packages on a freshly installed SPARC machine. I noticed that several packages are missing. I thought it was the mirror, but they are missing on the master ftp too. I know that some packages might not build on sparc or do not have sense on that platform, ho
