But the last release is what is in FreeBSD ports, the basis of both
FreeBSD and DragonFly.  And ports doesn't build from repos normally,
although there is a facility to pull directly from github, but I don't
like that method myself.

If there was an official downloadable snapshot or release candidate, I
could use that.  Since 2010 was the last release, is another one coming
soon?

Yes, that was one of the many patches in the attachment I send in the
previous mail.

The only ones I haven't patched already are
m3-libs\m3core\src\thread\PTHREAD\m3makefile and the cvsup ones.  Those
wouldn't cause the error.  I also assume this is the top of the repo.

I haven't seen freebsd in these, so must be a difference between release
and repo.

Because AMD64_DRAGONFLY is too long?
I'd prefer to keep it "AMD64_DRAGONFLY" because it matches the other
targets and because of all the work I've already done.


I'm really, really close to getting cm3 bootstrapped on DragonFly with
5.8.6.  I believe if this "M3_BOOTSTRAP = true" version would compile, I
could build cm3 and libraries on DragonFly with the cm3cg that's already
built on it.  Once I have a fully native compiler, then I can update to
the latest repo, especially if some kind of snapshot is released.

Thanks,
John
