Re: pkgsrc bootstrap fails on DilOS

[Hung Nguyen Gia <gh_origin%zohomail.com@localhost>]

I found a trick allowed me to successfully bootstrap:

First, install these packages on DilOS:

sudo m4 bison gettext flex texinfo zip unzip binutils build-essential

Second, create these symlinks:

sudo ln -s /usr/ccs /usr/xpg4
sudo ln -s /usr/ccs /usr/gnu

I could have pkgsrc bootstrapped but when actually building packages, e.g: lang/python39, it stucks at 'Generating post-install file lists':

So it's not really simple as getting the proper tools defined in tools.SunOS.mk (I satisfied all of the tools without changing this file).

If you are still want to support DilOS, I think you have to actually install it to be able to invest further.

Do you need me to send you my DilOS VirtualBox image?
