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

pg_buildext

PG_BUILDEXT(1)						 Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure					    PG_BUILDEXT(1)

NAME

       pg_buildext - Build and install a PostgreSQL extension

SYNOPSIS

       pg_buildext action srcdir target opts

DESCRIPTION

       pg_buildext is a script that will build a PostgreSQL extension in a VPATH way. It supports the configure, build, install, and clean
       actions, and will choose to build for the intersection of versions known in debian/pgversions (versions supported by the package) and in
       /usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions (versions supported in this release).

OPTIONS

       action
	   One of configure, build, install, or clean.

       srcdir
	   Where to find the extension sources, including the debian subdirectory.  (Usually $(CURDIR).) If not specified, defaults to the current
	   directory.

       target
	   The target directory where to build the sources, it will get created for you if it does not exist. If the target contains a %v sign, it
	   will get replaced by the specific version of PostgreSQL being built against.  (Usually build-%v.)

       opts
	   %v signs in opts will get replaced as in target.

	   configure
	       Options to pass to the configure script. (Most PostgreSQL extensions do not have a configure script.)

	   build
	       Custom CFLAGS options to use for the build.

	   install
	       Package name to install for. Make will be called with DESTDIR="srcdir/debian/package".

	   clean
	       clean does not take extra options.

USAGE

       As pg_buildext invokes make for the build, install, and clean actions, invocations from debian/rules (which is a makefile) should be
       prefixed with + so the sub-makes can talk with the make jobserver.

EXAMPLE

	 build-stamp:
		 +pg_buildext configure $(CURDIR) build-%v "--libdir=/usr/lib/postgresql/%v/lib --datadir=/usr/share/postgresql-%v-plsh"
		 +pg_buildext build $(CURDIR) build-%v

	 install: build
		 +pg_buildext install $(CURDIR) build-%v postgresql-%v-plsh

	 clean:
		 +pg_buildext clean $(CURDIR) build-%v
