Doh! bootstrap-pkgsr won't build

[Andreas Maus]

Hello everybody!

After an installation of the new NetBSD 1.6.1 I tried to install
the pkg_src utility. So I grab the the tarball
(ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/bootstrap-pkgsrc.tar.gz) , untar it run bootstrap:

***@sysiphos /root/pkgsrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc $ ./bootstrap --prefix=/root/bootstrap

[...snipp...]

gcc -o bmake arch.o buf.o compat.o cond.o dir.o for.o hash.o job.o main.o make.o parse.o str.o suff.o targ.o trace.o var.o util.o lstAppend.o lstAtEnd.o lstAtFront.o lstClose.o lstConcat.o lstDatum.o lstDeQueue.o lstDestroy.o lstDupl.o lstEnQueue.o lstFind.o lstFindFrom.o lstFirst.o lstForEach.o lstForEachFrom.o lstInit.o lstInsert.o lstIsAtEnd.o lstIsEmpty.o lstLast.o lstMember.o lstNext.o lstOpen.o lstRemove.o lstReplace.o lstSucc.o
bmake.boot: don't know how to make /usr/share/tmac/tmac.andoc. Stop

bmake.boot: stopped in /root/pkgsrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc/bmake
*** Error code 2

Stop.
make: stopped in /root/pkgsrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc/bmake
bmake installation failed.

***@sysiphos /root/pkgsrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc $

Huh?
Does anybody out there know how I can get rid of this error ?

Many thanks in advance,

Andreas.

bootstrap-pkgsrc is for non-NetBSD systems. please follow the
instructions mentioned at:

http://netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html#binary

and below.

Whoops. I've stopped reading after bootstrap and thought 'Cool! Lets try it'...
And I missed somehow the sentence 'If you are using NetBSD, you can get started with pkgsrc right away.'
in the documentation.

Shame on me ! Shame on me !!!

...but on the other hand ... Now I know that bootstrap is for non-NetBSD-systems and
I am looking a Packagemanagement for my "Linux from scratch"-Systems which compiles
from source and tracks dependancies. I will give bootstrap a try on my Penguin-Hosts...

Next time I will read the _whole_ documentation. I promise ;-)

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Andreas.

For your information, I have packaged many Linux-specific programs. Most I
have imported to wip-pkgsrc. Many of these packages I built in late 2002.

I use NetBSD-style rc.d scripts (with NetBSD's rc.subr and rcorder) and
all software is installed with packages built via pkgsrc.

Some of my packages I use:

devel/bin86 -- submitted on 15/Mar/2003; and imported to wip on 16/May/2003
devel/byacc -- uploaded to wip on 05/Apr/2003
