Some of the "--disable"s are there because I didn't want various features rather than because they didn't compile, but I don't remember which is which. Most of them can probably be removed. I do know that --disable-defrag is necessary because the e4defrag program doesn't compile on musl. However it can be made to compile by replacing all the instances of loff_t with off64_t and adding a wrapper for the mincore syscall. - Will Haddon > -avahi is semi-important > -ruby has been one of the higher-priority ones to fix > -R needs g77 or gfortran a/k/a g95 (I have g77, but that's not in pkgsrc...). > Also needs lapack& blas which need the same. > Octave needs all of the above, plus more... > I suspect that applying musl patches to gcc-core, and untarring gfortran > on that, would be adequate-that's what I did for g77. > -qt3& qt4 libs won't build OOB
