Hi Frank,
Thanks for your response! Please find below my answer to your comments:
Doesn't NetBSD's default Xorg support the Wii's GPU? Did you try "startx" for a test? I know it works on my macppc and ofppc hardware.
There is no X in the image I downloaded from
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/latest/evbppc/binary/gzimg
, so no startx to run :(
You can always download the latest pkgsrc archive from ftp.netbsd.org, extract it to /usr, and compile yourself:
I tried that, but I bumped into multiple compilation problems, that's
when I reached out for help to know if there was an already compiled
solution. I will try to address the compilation problems I found.
I never used pkgin. Just set the PKG_PATH environment variable and use pkg_add, which is always there.
Yes, I've used pkgin successfully to install other precompiled
packages that are available. I was referring to a way of installing X
with precompiled binaries.

However, that does not work and the package does not seem to be
on the package repository either for any of the 10.0 versions nor for
the 9.x ones.

How can I install X11 with pkgin?

Otherwise:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgin
# make package install
