Hello, I compiled a 9-CURRENT from SVN but having it in a non default place, in /home/guru/9-CURRENT/src. To compile kernel and world I set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to /home/guru/9-CURRENT/obj and all went fine. Then I installed kernel und world to the USB key using DESTDIR set to /mnt. Because the idea is to use the USB key for further installation a copied the 'src' and 'obj' to it as well with: # cp -Rp /home/guru/9-CURRENT/src /mnt/usr # cp -Rp /home/guru/9-CURRENT/obj /mnt/usr The USB key boots fine. From this USB key I now wanted to install the system to a partitioned hard disk, again with something like: # cd /usr/src # make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt where below /mnt now the file system of the disk was mounted. This failed with messages about 'install: ... not found' and the way around was to move /usr/src again on the USB key to a faked location of /home/guru/9-CURRENT/src, and as well 'obj'. After this all went fine. Question: Why is this so hardwired bound to the original location of 'src' and 'obj'?
