[Gambas-user] BSD gambas compile

[Bruce Steers]

aah , now you tell me lol.
okay point noted.

On the plus side though i have BSD compiling up to date :)
(well GhostBSD at least)

I've encountered 3 issues with 3 fixes applied after getting the
dependencies right...

1. trunk_version.h does not get created in ./main/
fix: copy the trunk_version.h file from another source folder

2. sys/sysmacros.h not found for gbx_c_file.c
fix: commented out the define line on line 35.
(is there a way sysmacros.h can be ditched? maybe import the code?)

3. BSD rmdir command does not like the --ignore-non-empty flag in the
makefiles  (it does not use ANY -- prefixes)
Fix: remove flag

So after those 3 steps i now have this...

Phew.
