Hello,
I managed to compile most (the documentation fails with latex errors) of DROPS using the attached patch on FreeBSD 5.4. Notes on how to build drops on L4 are attached as well. Notable difficulties in porting:
* bash assumed to be in /bin/ (solved with sed) * assuming Linux-style /proc in gendep * assuming dynamically-linked gcc
It might be worthwile to make kernel/fiasco/src/Makeconf include mk/Makeconf to avoid redundancy.
I think the whole build process would be quite portable with some autoconf magic and with gendep removed.
Also I did not test the result. Maybe tomorrow.
Regards,
