Works for me -- I build stuff on one of the Intellistations, and after it's back up & running, I'll export its /usr, then mount its /usr/{obj,src} on the corresponding mount points on another box (another Intellistation, a non-name PC, or one of the laptops, for example) and then do the "make installkernel", "make installworld", & "mergemaster" on the target machine. I make sure that /etc/make.conf is compatible first (usually, a copy), and I build several kernels on the Intellistation -- one for each different kernel config I intend to install on a machine. >I tried to compile on my quickest machine and transfer /usr/obj >tree to the target (slow) machine. The make installworld sure complained a >lot. Did I miss anything else other than /usr/obj? Sounds as if you did *some*thing odd, but I can't tell what. The NFS mounting has worked for me.
