Openchrome on OBSD 4.2 working
Hi,

With a little bit of touching up I have managed to build and install the latest trunk Openchrome driver under OpenBSD 4.2 with its Xorg 7.2.0 - yay. And once I get the right monitor settings to solve the bandwidth problems I am sitting happily at 1280x1024 32bpp. Happy bunny.

For the record, the "fixes" I had to do were as follows:

1. src/Makefile.am - the svn revision buildcomment needs an extra \ before \n, otherwise the generated C macro spans 2 lines which is a no no and kills the build. This may a Linux/OpenBSD compiler default settings issue, but either way it just ain't C. Here is the svn diff for it:

Index: src/Makefile.am
===================================================================
--- src/Makefile.am	(revision 493)
+++ src/Makefile.am	(working copy)
@@ -90,7 +90,7 @@
 	echo '#include "svnrelease.h"' > $@.tmp; \
 	elif [ -d .svn ]; then \
 	echo '#define BUILDCOMMENT "(development build, at svn revision '\
-	"`svnversion -nc .. | sed -e s/^[^:]*://`"')\n"' > $@.tmp; \
+	"`svnversion -nc .. | sed -e s/^[^:]*://`"')\\n"' > $@.tmp; \
 	else date +'#define BUILDCOMMENT "(development build, compiled on %c)\n"' > $@.tmp; fi
 
 	@(chmod 666 $@.tmp 2> /dev/null || /bin/true)

While hacking this I also encountered an assumption that /bin/true exists - this is not so on OBSD, it's in /usr/bin, but if the buildcomment fix is in then this is not triggered.

2. The install assumes the X11 modules dir is in /usr/lib/xorg when on default install OBSD it is /usr/X11R6/lib - a link sorted that out for now.

3. The installer assumes the man path for the man page is /usr/man when it should be /usr/local/man, simply copied the file and removed the wrong directory.

And that is it - I haven't tried any of the fancy stuff, just using 2d windows, no TV, no video, etc.

If you want me to check build changes for OBSD compatibility I am more than happy to help.
