System: NetBSD polaris 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (POLARIS) #0: Thu Mar 26 13:17:18 MST 1998 root@polaris:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/POLARIS i386


>Description:
Looking at the icon pkg, it's marked only for arch-i386.  Attempted to build under
alpha, and it bombed.  Looked around, saw the newest version was 9.3.1, grabbed that,
cleaned up the patches *alot*, fixed it so it works on alpha.

Note for other port-maintainers/hackers:
I was able to do the alpha support by copying the dec_osf stuff and modifying it
to fit netbsd/alpha.  Most likely the same can be done for other arches, given time
and patience.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
cd lang/icon && make on alpha.

	
>Fix:
A patch is infeasable, as almost everything in this pkg had to be modified to make
it work.  It has been regression tested on i386, and still works fine.
