Need help building Julia from source

[notooth]

Hello,

Can anyone help me build Julia? I failed building it with the errors:

Use gmake.

Thank you for the response. But I got another error:

Looks like the Julia scripts are looking for the seq(1) and realpath(1) utilities, neither of which are available on OpenBSD.

You're in luck though. I have ported realpath from DragonFly BSD and seq from FreeBSD. See my wip repo here:
https://github.com/ibara/openbsd-ports-wip
https://github.com/ibara/openbsd-por...utils/realpath
https://github.com/ibara/openbsd-por...r/sysutils/seq

[notooth]

How long does it take to complete the 2 wip packages? If it is possible, can you please port Julia to OpenBSD?

[ibara]

Quite literally 2 seconds. They are single C file utilities.
I have too much on my plate for the short and medium term future. I wouldn't depend on me getting to something like this any time soon.

I get another error. Can anyone help?

You usually have to tell the compiler/linker where to look for system libraries with -L and which libraries to load with -l.

You didn't include what command it ran so I don't know what it's trying to do or not do.

[notooth]

I don't know what to tell the compiler. Here is the command I ran and the command it ran:

That's a gmake command. You really need to see the gcc command it's running.

What you show there has no -L or -l parameters in it but I don't know if they are getting set elsewhere and not shown here.

It also looks like it's using the old base gcc but probably the base clang linker which will cause linking problems.

Their docs seem to indicate that you need to compile with a newer gcc and you can't use clang.

Install gcc from ports, run gmake clean, then add "CC=egcc LD=egcc" to your gmake command to compile it again. See how that goes.

Actually, there is a USECLANG flag and it's set for FreeBSD. So maybe try that instead.
