After a couple of false starts, I ended up doing this, assuming a fully-populated /usr/src:cd /usr/src ./build.sh -O /usr/obj-vax -m vax tools ./build.sh -O /usr/obj-vax -m vax kernel=GENERIC Both steps are somewhat lengthy. Comments welcome.I did this on a NetBSD/amd64 v9.1 VM, using a 9.3 source tree. I've not yet attempted to boot the resultant kernel. I hope to have time to do that tonight.
How many virtual CPUs can you throw at it?-j 24 on a Ryzen 5900X gives me the tools and a VAX kernel in a little less than three minutes.
And the possibility of a native compile in the future again, sounds like Christmas and Easter on the same day :)Yes!
I've noticed that native compiling has improved significantly. I've barely spent much time on the test machine:
