I had installed the latest BETA-1 tar_files from xray-ymp. You mean that
the includes and lib files ain that are not current?
Anyway, I obtained the latest include.tar.gz, and lib.tar.gz from
fp.iastate.edu, from the src directory. I guess the includes go under
/usr/src tree, and lib under /usr/src/sys. I was then able to build the
kernel all the way to "loading netbsd". But then the loader could not find
about swven references, from __bsun to fpst in text segment. I did a search
and found those in a fpsp directory under m68k, but a make fpsp failed due
to compilation errors. (Actually quite a few libraries lbc, c++ and some
others had not compiled before due to errors). I guess that these routines
have more to do with Quadra, while I am trying the kernel for a IIci and
IIvx.
My question is, how can I get those missing routines to complete linking
netbsd kernel. Also which files I still need & where I install them, in
case I need those routines in fpsp compiled?
Thanks for your help.
