Anybody ever tried to build the OSE code on BeOS?
That (R4.5) is what I'm using now, so I'd like to take Erlang with me.
I don't even know if it is possible to build it with no or just minor
tweaks. The shell is bash, the compiler is gcc (2.9) and many other
unix tools are installed, so I guess I have all I need.
To begin with I'd need something to pass as the system type (the HOST
flag); "i386-unknown-beos" and others I tried are rejected by the
configure script.
What do I need to check in order to make it compile? Is it worth
trying?

Hello. I just tried to build Erlang on BeOS again and I've found what
(to me) seems like a configure problem. Let me explain:

The configure script can't figure out the host type. So I told it to
try 'i686-unknown-linux', since this the same linux box I usually run
Erlang on, and that's what the linux configure script used to build it.
To my surprise, I've found the BeOS is pretty compatible.

All seems to go well except for the erts subdirectory. For some reason,
the host type gets lost when going in there and configure says 'can not
guess host type'. All other subdirectories are correctly configured.

Naturally, make fails in erts/system, which happens to be the first
place it goes into.

To me this looks like a configure problem, but I know virtually nothing
about autoconf and configure. Can someone please tell me where to look
for something that could be wrong in the different configure scripts,
and what would that look like?

Thanks in advance.
-Daniel
