If so, tell me now > before we do hub. :) I did update my machine to ELF some days ago. 1. grab a working snapshot of the current sources, e.g. from 5th January (before the ELF kernel and the broken texinfo import) 2. create a chroot environment mkdir /a/chroot cd /; tar cf - bin dev etc sbin var | ( cd /a/chroot; tar xfv -) cd /usr; tar cf - bin compat include lib libdata libexec sbin share | (cd /a/chroot; tar xfv -) 2b) mkdir -p /a/chroot/tmp /a/chroot/var/tmp 3. put the sources from 1) into /a/chroot/usr/src 4. Start chroot chroot /a/chroot 5. Start aout-to-elf-build cd /usr/src make aout-to-elf-build 5b) repeat 5) until `make aout-to-elf-build' was successfully 6. Install elf binaries make aout-to-elf-install 7. leave the chroot environment exit 8. Do the real update - set some symlinks Sources: /usr/src -> /a/chroot/usr/src obj tree: /usr/obj -> /a/chroot/usr/obj [from my memory, without any warranty]: mkdir -p /a/chroot/usr/obj/elf/a/chroot/usr cd /a/chroot/usr/obj/elf/a/chroot/usr ln -s src -> ../../../../usr/src mkdir -p /a/chroot/usr/obj/aout/a/chroot/usr cd /a/chroot/usr/obj/aout/a/chroot/usr ln -s src -> ../../../../usr/src 9. Install elf binaries cd /usr/src; make aout-to-elf-install If you forgot a obj symlink it will fail without damage - go back to 8) and create the symlinks -- Wolfram Schneider <wosch@freebsd.org> http://freebsd.org/~w/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
