Compiling gcc to compile make to compile yaboot
I have just installed OpenBSD on a 333MHz PPC iMac G3. It has a 6GB HDD that has been partitioned as 1GB MacOS 8.5.1, 3GB MacOS X 10.3.9, 2GB OpenBSD 4.8. I now need to install a bootloader so that my computer can recognize the OpenBSD partition at startup. I have been trying to install yaboot-1.3.16. The INSTALL instructions that came with yaboot say that the fastest way to install yaboot is to run "make install". When I try to do this from the Terminal in MacOS X I am given the error message "-bash: make: command not found". So I downloaded GNU Make 3.82 from mac.softpedia.com and tried to install it according to it's INSTALL instructions which say to "`cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system." This is what I get:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... config/install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/make-3.82':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

So from here I decided to get the Xcode Tools disc that came with the MacOS X install discs and install gcc. Due to space constraints on my HDD I can't install all of the Developer Tools that are on the Xcode Tools disc so all that was installed is gcc. So after all this I tried to install Make 3.82 again and still get the same error message listed above. I checked the config.log for details as it says to do, but at my novice level it makes no sense to me. At this point I'm just hoping that someone can give me an easy solution that will allow me to choose which OS I'd like to boot into at startup.

Thanx in advance.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_auto_install

DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)						     Debhelper							DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)

NAME

       dh_auto_install - automatically runs make install or similar

SYNOPSIS

       dh_auto_install [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_auto_install is a debhelper program that tries to automatically install built files. It does so by running the appropriate command for
       the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a install target, then this is done by
       running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is used. Note that the Ant build system
       does not support installation, so dh_auto_install will not install files built using Ant.

       Unless --destdir option is specified, the files are installed into debian/package/ if there is only one binary package. In the multiple
       binary package case, the files are instead installed into debian/tmp/, and should be moved from there to the appropriate package build
       directory using dh_install(1).

       DESTDIR is used to tell make where to install the files.  If the Makefile was generated by MakeMaker from a Makefile.PL, it will
       automatically set PREFIX=/usr too, since such Makefiles need that.

       This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong install target, you're encouraged to skip
       using dh_auto_install at all, and just run make install manually.

OPTIONS

       See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.

       --destdir=directory
	   Install files into the specified directory. If this option is not specified, destination directory is determined automatically as
	   described in the "DESCRIPTION" section.

       -- params
	   Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_install usually passes.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
