[9fans] Trouble building Inferno on Linux

[9fans] Trouble building Inferno on Linux

[Mista Tea]

Hello,

I have followed these build instructions:
www.ueber.net/who/mjl/inferno/getting-started.html

It builds mk without error but when "mk -s nuke mkdirs install" is
run I get the following errors:

warning: skipping missing include file: ~/inferno/mkfiles/mkhost-Linux: No such file or directory
warning: skipping missing include file: ~/inferno/mkfiles/mkfile-Linux-386: No such file or directory
mk: don't know how to make 'nuke-'

I checked those files and they are in fact there, they can be read
and contain data (not zero size). If I run mk without arguments I
get the same missing include file errors.

You seem to be assuming that ~ is resolved to a $HOME, which is not
the case in the Plan 9 and Inferno contexts.  Maybe you need to
specify $HOME explicitly?

I think the problem may be here

#OBJTYPE=386            # target system object type (eg, 386, arm, mips,
power, s800, sparc)
OBJTYPE=$objtype

#
#    no changes required beyond this point
#
OBJDIR=$SYSTARG/$OBJTYPE

there is no objtype or $objtype so OBJTYPE is null.

At any rate, I just typed in '386' where is says $objtype, and it worked.

You are correct, it was a newbie mistake on my part. I changed
ROOT=~/inferno to ROOT=/home/usr/inferno and it built. Doh!
