It wasn't clear from your reference to vnode_if.pl that your topic was really the removal of perl from the bootstrap process. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-). FWIW: I think you can take the same approach as that taken by makesyscalls.sh, which is to pre-generate the files, even though they should probably be regenerated each time. In other words, run it on an i386 box, and check it into the SPARC build process for now as part of the config/make process. This should let you bootstrap as well as we already do for system calls, at least until you get APRC64 to the point where it's capable of acting as a platform for perl. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
