I noticed that the Erlan port is hopelessly out of date for OpenBSD.
I've been using erlang on OpenBSD and I have a working installation
of Erlang R10B-3 on OpenBSD 3.7 (beta) March 10, 2005.

I'd like to volunteer to turn this into a port that can go into the
ports tree.

For starters, here are the notes on how to get the tar ball to compile
and install on 3.7 (beta)...

Erlang R10B-3 port to Open BSD 3.7


1. )/otp_src_R10B-3/lib/os_mon/c_src/memsup.c
is different from the release,


----------------------------------------------------------------

+++ memsup.c Thu Mar 10 12:02:49 2005
_at__at_ -95,7 +95,11 _at__at_
#ifdef BSD4_4
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
-#include <vm/vm_param.h>
+#ifdef __OpenBSD__
+#include <sys/vmmeter.h>
+#else
+#include <vm/vm_param.h>
+#endif
#ifdef __FreeBSD__
#include <sys/vmmeter.h>
#endif
-------------------------------------------------------------------

2. ) ./configure --disable-jinterface
No jvm under OpenBSD in native mode.


3. ) /otp_src_R10B-3/erts/etc/unix/format_man_pages
is BROKEN for OpenBSD, it tests for BSDness by searching for vmunix
THERE ISN'T a vmunix file on OpenBSD so this test will fail!
I have added a TARGET for OpenBSD.
