[M3devel] help booting CM3 on FreeBSD 4.11?

[Jay]

You shouldn't have to muck with LONGINT actually.
When you bootstrap, you use your existing libm3 and m3core.
And you build sysutils, m3front, m3middle, m3quake, cm3, etc. -- none
of which should be using LONGINT.
 
 
upgrade.py and upgrade.sh get this right.
If LONGINT has crept into those packages, that would be a problem.
But LONGINT in m3core and libm3 can/does exist and is not a problem.
 
 
I'll fix handlerStack for you in a sec.
 
 
Would help if you had pthreads though.
