In what language is the emulator written? Made the change to ARCH. It appears to be written in C++ since it requires the G++ compiler. I think I left some details out after looking at this a bit more. The Daphne texts explain that it will compile under FreeBSD. To compile there is step to create a Makefile.vars for your OS before doing the make command. Here are the contents of the FreeBSD vars file. <----------------------------------------------- # This file contains FreeBSD-specific environment variables # It is included by Makefile if a symlink is created to point to it # debugging version #DFLAGS = -g -DCPU_DEBUG # optimized version DFLAGS = -O3 -march=i686 -DX86_ASM -DGCC_X86_ASM -fomit-frame-pointer \ -fexpensive-optimizations -funroll-loops # to tell Makefile to assemble the MMX code export USE_MMX = 1 # platform-specific compile flags PFLAGS = ${DFLAGS} `sdl11-config --cflags` -DUNIX -DFREEBSD \ -DNATIVE_CPU_X86 -DMMX_RGB2YUV # platform-specific lib flags LIBS = `sdl11-config --libs` -lSDL_mixer -lz -logg -lvorbis -lvorbisfile <------------------------------------------------ There are some PFLAGS in the vars file, which might be why the NetBSD port had them? I'm not sure about the optimizations, I already have -O2 -pipe and I have march defined in make.conf. Should the DFLAGS in Makefile.vars be patched? Additionally, I have had trouble compiling Daphne and discovered it's due to a bug in gcc with the -DGCC_X86_ASM flag, so I'm thinking I would need to patch the Makefile.vars. > > - There is a note in the Daphne instructions that explains "You also need to > > compile libvldp2.so which comes with DAPHNE and has its own set of > > instructions inside the vldp2 directory.

The instructions say the vldp2 library must be compiled and installed since Daphne requires it to run. It seems like it might need it to compile too, but I'm not sure I can compile the library with this: cd ../daphne/src/vldp2/ ./configure make install clean This creates libvldp2.so in ../daphne so then I do: mkdir /usr/local/lib/daphne cp ../daphne/libvldp2.so /usr/local/lib/daphne/ ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/daphne This seems to get the library dependency fixed. So, can I add this somewhere to the port Makefile? Like in post-extract or something? Anyway thanks for you help so far! Nate
