xwindows stuff.I just don't understand why this is so hard. Why isn't the code stand-alone. One file that you distribute for each app, containing any dependencies, so that someone can just compile against one set of files? 20 years ago when I was writing in C and C++ that's how we did it. You could take the code, compile it on any platform available where that particular C compiler was available, and it worked.
This is supposed to be a userland app with no dependencies, so why does it need files like makedepend anyway?
This takes 3 hours to erase the old files, download new ones, bootstrap them and then attempt to compile dptutil through the bmake utility.
Why isn't dptutil just a binary for sparc64, so I could just download that and not have to go through this process at all? No one in the world is compiling any of this stuff on a sparc64 box?
Sorry I'm venting, but it's not a wonder why the masses won't go near the better operating systems. They would rather put up with Microsuck because at least they don't have to extract files and compile them and hope it works. They have installers that do all of the complicated stuff for them.
Anyway to continue to solve the problem, now what?to continue with the error stuff, maybe this will help. After the first Error code 1 where it fails because of makedepend it says:
Stop. make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/dptutil/work/raidmgt-3.31/dpteng *** Error code 1 my .work.log says: /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/dptutil/work/.tools/bin/true <.> true five times, and that's it.

If you find that dptutil definitely works on your OpenBSD-3.8/sparc64 system, please let us know so that we can update the the list of platforms for which this utility can work.I don't know what you mean by that? do you want me to go back and re-download pkgsrc altogether and re-./bootstrap it? or do you want me to re-use the makefile to automatically re-download the dptutil again?You can certainly do that, but the recommended way to fetch and update pkgsrc is via AnonCVS[1]. After you update your pkgsrc, please just try to build sysutils/dptutil again.Cheers, -- Johnny Lam <jlam%pkgsrc.org@localhost> [1] http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html#bootstrap
