[erlang-questions] Building R13B04 on OpenBSD 4.6

[Jérôme Desquilbet]

I didn't have problems. But before compiling from sources I installed 
the erlang package. Here's what I did (I wrote it somewhere, here's a copy):


pkg_add wget
pkg_add erlang
pkg_add gcc-4.2.4p2
pkg_add gmake
mkdir /usr/tools
cd /usr/tools
mkdir erlang
cd erlang
wget http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R13B04.tar.gz
tar zxf otp_src_R13B04.tar.gz
mkdir otp_R13B04
cd otp_src_R13B04
./configure --help
./configure --prefix=/usr/tools/erlang/otp_R13B04 --with-ssl
gmake
gmake install


Good luck,
   Jérôme.
