Hi,
I've installed (I think) NetBSD 1.2 on my sun3/60. I was trying
to build perl5, when I got these "can't fork" errors. After some
thought (and sending mail to this list), I figured that I need to
increase MAXUSERS in the kernel config. Simple enough, or so I
thought.
Okay, so I download the source. Unpack it and try to build it.
Trying a "make build" from /usr/src lead to so many errors, I decided to
skip it.
>From /usr/src/sys, I tried a "make" and had problems in "stand/libsa"
The function panic() in panic.c has a different declaration that the
one in /usr/src/sys/lib/libsa/stand.h
So, at this point I decided just to try and configure a new kernel.
Just as a test, decide to rebuild the GENERIC kernel. But when
I typed "config GENERIC", I got a bunch of errors along the likes of
../../../conf/files: 312 syntax error
Help! I just wanted to build the kernel. I would be nice if I could
build the whole system from scratch (why? just because.)
Thanks,
