Hi Raion & others,

I now have it successfully completing: fetch -> extract -> bulid

It blows up in the, diaglog4port compile, due to IRIX / FreeBSD C header/lib differences.

I am pretty confident that this can work, bmake is working without issues and default shell has not been cause of any mysterious bugs (just need to update scripts slightly).

Its really just a matter of going through each target and its sub-targets and addressing the IRIX variation impact (these are now mostly return code handling related).

Raion - if you have an already compiling version of dialog4ports then I could use this to generate a patch file.

This would then mean that the entire process to get first bootstrap stage done, would be going!!

I will likely need to put this aside for rest of week and do work stuff ;-)

Open issues are there for people to tackle ;-)

EDIT: POP cork and small celebration!!!

Cheers from Oz,
