I upgraded the source tree with cvsup. I followed the instructions and the notes in UPGRADING, but I can't get the make buildword to complete without unresolved references. I then de-cvsup'd (to coin a phrase) to 3.5-RELEASE sources and did a buildworld and installworld, which went fine. I left the 3.3 kernel running, figuring the libs would turn the trick, but maybe this is not a "good thing" ? Trying to build 4.5 sources with the 3.5 libs installed showed no improvement. So, I decided to transfer the /usr/obj tree from a 4.5 box to the remote. machine. I then built a kernel and transferred the build directory to the remote box. Just being a cautious sort, I tried running a binary from the obj tree. It failed with a BRANDELF warning. Is this because I did not run 'mergemaster' after installing the 3.5 world? Is this "Mission Impossible"? I have no one at the site that can do this. If I say "make installworld" is the whole thing going to come to a grinding halt? -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
