FW: Postgres 7.4 runing on BSD

If anyone has any advice on building Postgres 7.4 for a freeBSD box it sure would be welcome.

well, it takes gmake to build Postgres..

having trouble installing 'gmake' on the BSD box; it started to do its BSD autoinstall thing and built a whole crapload of stuff when I just wanted gmake, and is now crashing looking for a library...
