Peroid. People didn't want to accept that, but you are : giving more proof of it. If you want to change the assumptions of about : the base system, you have to be willing to change bsd.*.mk. Peroid. All my systems that build sources have not had a /usr/src at all for at least three years, maybe 4 now. Nothing in bsd.*.mk assumes /usr/src and things work just fine without them. And have for years. Terry must be doing something else wrong. :-) You may be right about non-default compilers. We at timing solutions have a bunch of files that wrap bsd.*.mk that allow us to change the compiler to compile our sources. But I've always run into problems trying to do that in the past.
