[9fans] plan9port, NetBSD, sched_yield

[Thomas Miller]

Hi, 

On 

NetBSD aluminum.miller.net 2.0E NetBSD 2.0E (GENERIC) #0: 
Fri Apr 30 23:59:41 EDT 2004  
root@:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

using a newly checked out from cvs plan9port, when I

cd /usr/local/plan9
./INSTALL

I get 

  [ many lines of .o's apparently successfully created ] 

followed by this error

+ 9l -o o.mk arc.o archive.o bufblock.o env.o file.o graph.o job.o lex.o main.o match.o mk.o parse.o recipe.o rule.o run.o sh.o shprint.o symtab.o var.o varsub.o word.o unix.o /usr/local/plan9/src/../lib/libregexp9.a /usr/local/plan9/src/../lib/libbio.a /usr/local/plan9/src/../lib/lib9.a

+ install -c o.mk /usr/local/plan9/src/../bin/mk

Would someone please tell me how to fix this error? 

Thanks,

Please don't spend a lot of time just for me. 
I'm merely having some fun, there's no real need. 
Nice of you to offer, though!  :-)

I wish I had an extra one to lend to you.  :-)
But I only have one Intel machine, some older 
macs, and an IBM z50 (mips).  I use the Intel 
machine every day. 

If you don't mind my asking, what do you do 
at Harvard? 

Thanks again for your reply. 

Kindest regards, 

Tom

Do a NetBSD port :-)  I don't think anyone has bothered
to do a NetBSD port since I stopped using NetBSD and that
was several years ago when the Plan 9 port stuff was in
a different (and much less complete) state.  Sched_yield
is in libpthread under NetBSD, but I very much doubt that
just linking against is sufficient; it may make the link
error go away, however.  If I have time later in the week
I can look into doing a port, but I don't have a NetBSD
box here physically, so I can't test anything that uses
X11.
