[clean-list] Problems & Clean on FreeBSD

[Bernard van Gastel]

Hi all,

I tried to compile Clean on FreeBSD, but there are no instructions. In 
the mailing list archive I saw a message stating I need a working clean 
compiler (clm) to compile Clean (is there no bootstrap clean compiler?). 
I compiled the '/CleanTools/clm' clm app, and using that clm I executed 
the '/Compiler/make.linux.sh' to look if I could make a FreeBSD version 
with a little tweaking, but I get an error message:

> clm: can't start the clean compiler: No such file or directory

Furthermore I tried to using the linux 'clm' (using FreeBSD Linux 
emulation, compares to a Red Hat 7.1 system). But when I compile _any_ 
program I get many 'undefined reference' errors in the linking phase (to 
'stdout' '_IO_putc', 'stin', 'stderr', '_IO_getc') in the '_startup.o' 
file. I have glibc 6 installed.

I am currently unable to develop Clean programs on my home computers (a 
Mac OS X box (no classic env) and 3 FreeBSD boxes), so I wonder about 
the status of the Clean ports to different platforms. Or if someone can 
help me..
