I noticed a message in the Alpha FreeBSD list about Briano wanting an Alpha FreeBSD machine for Mozilla builds. I'm the Compaq (formerly Digital) manager for porting work on site at Netscape. It also happens that I've run FreeBSD for four years at home. Since I can break loose an Alpha, I've offered it to Brian, which he accepted. However, trying to set it up for him seems to involve some problems. I've installed the Feb. 6 snapshot. Since it doesn't have XFree86, I've been trying to track down how to build that. I've discovered the patches that seem to be necessary, but these need some gcc patches that seem to be out of sync with the gcc that's in the snap. It seems to be looking for a freebsd-elf.h include file that doesn't exist. My goal is to set this machine up for Brian so that he can run a Mozilla tinderbox on it. To do this, I'll need X, GTK, and whatever else it depends on. Since none of us have huge amounts of time to try all the combinations here, could you recommend the right things to start with so I can accomplish this quickly? I could start with a different snap if that's appropriate. Thanks. Steve Rose To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
