I tried defining DESTDIR and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and fired off a "make -C /mnt/usr/src/ make installworld, but it failed instantly because it could not find cc. Of course, there is no compiler on the install drive, so... I had to define CC and LD to point at the right places, but then I get: make[1]:"/mnt/usr/src/Makefile.inc1" line 106: A build is required first. You may have the wrong MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX set. I set it to /mnt/usr/obj and that is the proper directory. It contains only the directory 'usr', as I would expect. So I am baffled. Any ideas on what the heck is missing. I'm feeling a bit nauseous about now. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com Using FreeBSD since 3.1 PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 [-- Attachment #2 --] <div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">On Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 9:36 AM Polytropon <<a href="mailto:freebsd@edvax.de">freebsd@edvax.de</a>> wrote:<br></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On Tue, 25 Oct 2022 09:27:36 -0700, Kevin Oberman wrote:<br> > I hope to recover it by booting a live system from a main snapshot, but I<br> > am uncertain of what environmental variables I will need to set to convince<br> > the system to make installworld from the /usr/obj on /mnt and install into<br> > /mnt.<br> > <br> > Any suggestions?<br> <br> You can find details in "man 7 build"; probably the<br> settings $MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and $DESTDIR will be what<br> you need, you'll find them in the ENVIRONMENT secion<br> of the manpage.<br> <br> <br> Good luck!<br> <br> <br> <br> -- <br> Polytropon<br> Magdeburg, Germany<br> Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0<br> Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...<br> </blockquote></div><br clear="all"><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Well, there is more required and, being anxious to get my system running, I will ask for a little more help.</div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">I tried defining DESTDIR and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and fired off a "make -C /mnt/usr/src/ make installworld, but it failed instantly because it could not find cc.
