[Compactbsd-devel] Re: [ptp] CompactBSD

[Jerritt C. <co...@li...>]

Ehh... it's worth noting up front that as it is this most definitely
needs a BSD host system. "Well duh" perhaps?

It could be made to not, I think, but it wasn't immediately clear that
this was this was a requirement. Make->pmake, specify the ARCH
explicitly (no i686 on bsd?) gets you a ways... the big issues being
tools cap_mkdb and pwd_mkdb missing, flashdist.sh bsd-oriented. 

Thanks (will play more when I have a BSD in front of me),
