Yes, it should be quite simple to run a build. Find an existing m68k
machine with AFS, and run /afs/sipb/project/afs/build/make-libafs-1.2
(read it first, and make sure the subdirectories in obj/libafs/ are set
up to allow a 1.2 build rather than a -current build).
There is a long-standing issue I haven't dealt with yet, though: all
m68k platforms are not created equal, when dealing with spl*()
functions. So build it on the same type of system you want to run on.
(see .../src/libafs/MakefileProto for the line which selects the spl*() style:
-ln -s $(SYS)/arch/`uname -m`/include machine
)
