Greetings. Recently i acquired an intel-based Mac mini and would like to build FreeBSD on it, but the mini needs to be (always) running OS X, because of other duties (DVR) it has. Is it possible to build FreeBSD from source on OS X running on intel hardware? I've tried the straight forward "make" in the source area, but it appears that OS X's make is actually gnu make, and it doesn't like the FreeBSD makefiles. I have the NetBSD pkgsrc system setup, and have a "bmake" which gets a little further when trying to build /usr/src/usr/bin/make, but still has some problems. Before i go any further with this, i wanted to check and see if this is even possible. Anyone know? -johan
