Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I've looked through the doc's and FAQs, but havent seen my problem. I just installed FreeBSD 4.4-RC5, yesterday. I recompiled the kernel today, to add soundcard support. When I tried to run sh MAKEDEV snd0, i got a syntax error on line 1411 of MAKEDEV. exact error was: MAKEDEV[1411]: syntax error: ')' unexpected. My sound still worked, without doing this step, but some people have told me that it could be bad not to do this. I 'didnot' edit the file MAKEDEV in anyway. if you could help me out I'd appreciate it.
