Errors Building 6.10.3 on NetBSD 4.0

[cjs]

Trying to build 6.10.3 using 6.8.2 on an amd64 NetBSD 4.0, I ran into several problems.

1. ./configure --with-gmp-includes=/usr/pkg/include --with-gmp-libraries=/usr/pkg/lib did not work; the build system could not find gmp.h. Changing libraries/Makefile to give the cabal setup command --extra-include-dirs=/usr/pkg/include --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/pkg/lib let it find the include file, but it still couldn't find the library. I finally had to symlink /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 to /usr/pkg/lib/libgmp.so.3 to get it to compile and link.

2. It seems that the installPackage package triggers some thread issues:

gmake -C installPackage with-stage-2

The build system has been completely changed in 6.12, so I'm closing this ticket. If you are still having problems, please open new tickets, one for each issue.
