Wells" To: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Upgrading and "Unknown pseudo op: .section" Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -current didn't seem to be the place for this... The Makefile in the current source tree says `make aout-to-elf-build' and `make aout-to-elf-install' should upgrade my 2.2-STABLE system from -current sources. I supped -current yesterday. Back in July Doug White reported getting the same thing that I got while trying to build -current on a -stable system. The "Unknown pseudo op: .section" errors from the assembler: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:73: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.section' *** Error code 1 The -current archives reported that using "make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld" will fix this error. I tried "make -m /usr/src/share/mk aout-to-elf-build" to do the upgrade. I tried "make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld" to see if I could just get the darn thing to build. Same error all three times. So... Are the instructions in /usr/src/Makefile wrong? Is the Makefile(s) itself broke? Is the user missing the big picture?
