Subject:   Build box: Going i686 to i586 in make.conf
Message-ID:  <20020911090529.C7198@seekingfire.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a build box, a Celeron 900, in which I'm planning to change the
make.conf CPUTYPE from i686 to i586 so that I can build for a little
Pentium 200 that I have acting as a Heimdal KDC.

Before embarking on this, I did some google'ing to see what sort of
gotcha's I might run into. I found two gotcha's:

* It read a thread og groups.google.com that seems to say that the make
  installworld will fail when you build for i586 on a box that built
  i686 previously (due to library problems) unless you also installworld
  on the build box itself and then /rebuild/ a second time. Is this
  documented anywhere? Is there a clean solution to building both i586
  and i686 on a dedicated build box?

* How are the installed ports on the build box affected?

Thanks for you help,

-T
