Re: Building ATF on OpenBSD box

["Sven Dehmlow" <sven%kaffeechaoten.de@localhost>]

Hey Julio,

Short: Works :)

Long story:

I figured out how to build ATF in OpenBSD 4.6:

- Install the g++ 4.2 and gcc 4.2 packages (OpenBSD ships with gcc/g++
3.3.5 but has packages for newer versions.)

- Set the CC and CXX environment variables to use gcc 4.2 and g++ 4.2
respectively.

- solve the "const const" thingy

- Tell the compiler to be not such a pedant:

configure --disable-developer ...
make
make install

LD (linker) still complains a lot about using unsecure (error-prone)
string functions and stuff, but: Builds :)

Currently I'm working an a port* of ATF and hope to find some time to fix
the LD warnings. I guess better string functions won't hurt ... ;)

Best regards

Sven
