Maybe OpenPKG can help you. It is a cross platform packaging solution and all CORE packages are known to work on Tru64 5.1. Have a look http://www.openpkg.org and give it a try. OpenPKG focuses on sources which implies a chicken-egg problem but you can find unofficial binaries at http://www.zfos.org/openpkg.html
Thanks for the pointer.
Tried this again on another alpha and noticed that the gmake install was failing due to install-sh not being found in some of the directories. After copying it in, everything seems to work as expected.
Only slight problem is that when I compile I keep getting the following warnings...
as0: Warning: , line 0: Unknown architecture name: ev68 as1: Warning: , line 0: Unknown architecture name: ev68 as0: Warning: , line 0: Unknown architecture name: ev68 as1: Warning: , line 0: Unknown architecture name: ev68
Anyone know why this might be?
