Dear All,
I've been trying to compile some packages lately from the pkgsrc tree, but
I've come across a problem: some of them complain that they
can't find "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
Is there a reason why I don't have this file? (I've installed the pkgsrc
set from the 1.3 distribution, and have been supping the tree every day.)
Since it is a "prefs" file, does anything important go in it, or can I
just create a blank file? (Which i'm about to try...)
Finally, is this an arm32 specific thing (or my-installation-specific)?
Whilst it obviously doesn't directly dpend on the hardware, I've had this
error from several major packages, which I assume must work on the other
platforms?
Thanks for your help,
David.
PS - I've compiled up a load of binary packages: what's the best thing to
do with them?: a) keep them to myself, b) serve them from my own machine,
c) give them to someone to put on ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk or can I d) give them
to someone to put on ftp.netbsd.org?
