| Someone use sn on OpenBSD?

Well, sort story: I'm away from home, and I was in a real
hurry install a Unix on my laptop without CDROM support.
Linux was my first choice, I tried with Debian and RedHat
even I have my own Linux, and tried to install them on the
laptop. Since I had trouble with the 3Com PCMCIA card
support I tried the distros... RedHat failed at the NFS
install, Debian forced to build first a 20 floppy disk set
before the full install via network, so I searched for other
solutions. OpenBSD's bootdisk booted, and started install
OpenBSD 2.8 from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org.

That was the pre-story. ;-)

Now the sn related. First I tried to compile sn with the
officially supplied make and I ran into a lot of trouble
with the `cat cc-flags` style of building. I have tired a
ton of ways to solve the huge error list when I discovered I
don't use the GNU make. So installed gmake, and building sn
was successfully. :)

Someone don't want adopt autoconf/automake? :-D
