From OpenBSD 6.2, clang has become the default compiler. So maybe you need to add CC&CXX environment variables in your personal.profile:
export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++
That’s because some software will select gcc as the compiler if you don’t specify these environment variables. The gcc is too old (4.2.1) and not maintained on OpenBSD anymore.
Check following simple script:
#!/usr/bbin/python
print("hello world!")
I misspelled python path intentionally. On Linux Bash, it reported following error:
$ ./hello.py
-bash: ./hello.py: /usr/bbin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
It prompted me that “/usr/bbin/python” couldn’t be found. While on OpenBSD ksh:
$ ./hello.py
ksh: ./hello.py: No such file or directory
It gave an illusion that hello.py didn’t exist. So be careful about this error information if you use ksh.
I have an old laptop, and tried to install OpenBSD-current on it. Unfortunately, no matter from OpenBSD 6.3 to upgrade, or install it from scratch. the machine couldn’t boot successfully. It displayed:
>>OpenBSD/amd64 BOOT 3.39
Then it flashed one line (I couldn’t see that line clearly, and it should display loading something), and the system would reboot again.
At the end, I gave up, and install OpenBSD-current on a virtual machine.
The default partitions of installing OpenBSD is not appropriate for me:
I need more space for /, since I want to build source code. So I just create one partition:
Please notice when creating partitions, there are some useful commands. Such as p, which displays current partition status:
? is for help:
Use z to delete all partitions:
Create the root partition and save it:

Today, when I tried to compile a project, “make” complained following errors:
# make
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /root/project/missing aclocal-1.15
/root/project/missing[81]: aclocal-1.15: not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>
*** Error 127 in /root/project(Makefile:330 './aclocal.m4')
To fix it, first install Automake:
# pkg_add automake
