[bitc-dev] Compiling on FreeBSD 6.1

[Christopher Nelson]

I downloaded the source tree for coyotos last night, and being
particularly interested in BitC, I tried to compile it on FreeBSD.
There were a few basic erros in libsherpa and astmaker, most of which
boiled down to the need to add:
 
-I/usr/local/include
-L/usr/local/lib
 
To the INC and LIB sections in the Makefile so that it could find gmp
and the gc stuff.  A couple of other minor corrections, like removing
the sys/statfs.h include and adding a couple others, were needed.  
 
I don't know if there's an easy way to do this for the whole package,
but it would make things a bit easier for FreeBSD.   
 
In any case, once the build got to the section where it begins to run
astmaker, it basically hung.  I started that process last night, and
it's still waiting in the same place.  I believe that the line was
something like...
 
xxx/BUILD/astmaker -H AST.h
 
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or what I could do
to get past it?
