I want to compile a new smaller kernel. I have NetBSD-0.8 . I tried compiling and new kernel with the stock compiler and that did not work. I looked through some of the old comp.os.386bsd.* archives and sort of concluded that I would need the gcc-2.4.5 to compile the kernel. Ok so I grabbed that from the net and made gcc. Seems to work. Atleast it compiled itself and 'make compare' reported no errors (so I conclude it works -- am I wrong). When I tried making a kernel with the new and improved gcc the new kernel still does not work. I have not grabbed any new libraries, do I need to do this? Also I saw some references to special make flags when making gcc-2.4.5 : what flags do i need to properly make gcc? 2. I want to make emacs (19.15) with x windows support. I build emacs with the stock NetBSD-0.8 compiler and it works fine, but when I tried './configure ... --with-x11 --x-include= /usr/X386/include --x-libraries=/usr/X386/lib' That failed with some errors about BSD redefined...can't remember the file that failed... Do I need to do anything special to get emacs with x working? Thanks for any info. -Ram -- -------------- Ram Bhamidipaty use this ->ram@epidat.epi.wisc.edu Department of Preventive Medicine ignore the return address in the header University of Wisconsin, Madison of this message.
