Are all the other parts build (tk,tcl,db,grep,etc)?

Otherwise you probably want to do something like:

[ceo ~/me/SN452-source]$ make all-snavigator

Which sould build db/PORT/* and friends before buildin
the main snavigator directory.

Afterwards, just do a make install-snavigator.

(My making a couple of assumptions like you have a 
build dir like ~/me/SN452-build and so on.)

Wow, that was fast. OK, I'm a moron; I wasn't building out of a parallel
build directory. 

Now I'm having another problem. After lintcl8.1.a successfully builds:

I have perfectly functional builds of Tcl 8.0 and 8.2 on my system already.

   Now I'm having another problem. After lintcl8.1.a successfully builds:

   /usr/home/ceo/SN/SN452-build/tcl8.1/unix/../../../SN452-source/tcl8.1/unix/../generic/tclLoad.c:332:

   /usr/home/ceo/SN/SN452-build/tcl8.1/unix/../../../SN452-source/tcl8.1/unix/../generic/tclLoad.c:342:
   undefined reference to `TclpUnloadFile'
   /usr/home/ceo/SN/SN452-build/tcl8.1/unix/libtcl8.1.a(tclLoad.o): In

   undefined reference to `TclpUnloadFile'

At a glance, this looks like the code that loads and unloads dynamic modules
in Tcl -- that is, code that would use dlopen() or similar.  Perhaps Tcl's
configury is unable to determine which mechanism is needed on FreeBSD?

Again, check Tcl's config.log for the gory details.  It's probably been
known about and fixed in the official Tcl distribution for some time.

Re: Building on FreeBSD 3.2

Two steps forward and one back. Indeed, config.log showed me the answer; it
wasn't able to find libdl.so. This turned out to be in /compat/linux/lib,
so I added a -L line pointing thereto at the point in the config script
where it compiles its little bit of test code to see if dlopen() exists.
Now, the same compilation gives the result "/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so:
undefined reference to `_IO_stderr_". So it looks like I have some poking
around with the FreeBSD Linux compatibility libraries ahead of me; oh joy. 

I have a question, however, that might enable me to bypass all that: Is
there a way to build SN in such a way that it uses the already-installed
versions of tcl, grep, db etc. rather than the ones that come with the
source distribution?

Why are you trying to use the Linux compatibility?  Why not try and compile
the whole package to run natively on FreeBSD?  If that's the case, where do
you normally link dl_open() from?

Not currently. We are working hard for that to happen.

It looks like configure bombed out in this directory. Dump your complete
configure log and look for errors.

Building on FreeBSD 3.2

[Chip Olson]

Hi;

I'm trying to build SN 4.5.2 on FreeBSD 3.2, and am failing miserably. 

[ceo ~/me/SN452-source/snavigator]$ make
make  all-recursive
Making all in misc
Making all in libutils
Making all in db
Making all in ../parsers/cpp/cpplib
make: don't know how to make ../../db/PORT/libdb.a. Stop
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

It looks like the make process is in SN452-source/snavigator/db, builds
SN452-source/snavigator/parsers/cpp/cpplib from there, and then goes to
SN452-source/db/PORT, which is in the original source tree rather than the
parallel build tree, SN452-source/snavigator/db/PORT. Since configure was
run in the build tree, there's no Makefile there and nothing was built.

Is there something subtle wrong with my system (which wouldn't surprise me
in the least), or am I just missing something? Upgrading to FreeBSD 4.0
isn't an option, unfortunately.
