boehm-gc is difficult, it needs someone with access to multiple machine architectures and a fair understanding of OS internals to get it configured properly. it should probably be ONLY_FOR_ARCHS which have been specifically tested and known to work. I'm not sure the in-tree port works quite right on many !i386 but it gets further than this update, which fails to build on amd64: os_dep.c: In function `GC_get_stack_base': os_dep.c:1095: error: `result' undeclared (first use in this function) os_dep.c:1095: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once os_dep.c:1095: error: for each function it appears in.) os_dep.c: In function `GC_register_data_segments': os_dep.c:1483: error: `DATASTART' undeclared (first use in this function) (this update is also not made on -current, e.g. distinfo is still old-style) - I didn't try any slow arch yet. > All sources in a convenient way are on ports.gcu.info : cvs diff against -current is generally most convenient for a port which is already in-tree.
