Re: pkg/59002: Bootstrapping pkgsrc on HP-UX 11.11/PA-RISC fails due to lack of stdint.h

[Thom Holwerda <thom%thomholwerda.com@localhost>]

I've managed to make a ton of progress with this issue, almost entirely thanks to a set of modern header files created by vidraj, who posted them on GitHub for me:

https://gist.github.com/vidraj/2267181fd7d1fef8cdd6f834f5f40716

If I follow their instructions, and place the header files in the correct directories (*except* for stdlib.h, ignore that one), bootstrap will make it all the way to pkgtools (without any of the proposed patches from earlier in this thread), where it sadly errors out with a truly massive list of regex errors. The list is so long the ancient terminal in CDE only shows the very tail end of it:

Using testbootstrap to get a log fails (at the original awk issue), and I can't find a relevant config.log anywhere else either. I've also tried passing --prefer-pkgsrc and/or --full, but with those passed it also ends at the same massive list of regex errors, which all seem to occur in .mk files in /pkgsrc/mk/ and its subdirectories.

So there's definitely progress. If anyone has any idea about the regex errors, that'd be great - perhaps if there's a fix for that, the pkgsrc/hppa docs can maybe be edited to include information about the custom header files and where to get them.

Thanks!


Thom
