Hello,
make release fails on an aout based system.
A few background items.
1. I am still running an aout -current system.
2. cd /usr/src && make world still works correctly.
The problem:
cd /usr/src/release && make release CHROOTDIR=/snap/release \
BUILDNAME=$TITLE
fails with the following from /usr/src/Makefile.inc1:
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Re-scanning the shared libraries..
--------------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/src; /sbin/ldconfig -R
ldconfig: /var/run/ld.so.hints: No such file or directory
*** Error code 255
from this entry in the reinstall target:
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386" && ${OBJFORMAT} == "aout"
@echo
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo ">>> Re-scanning the shared libraries.."
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR}; /sbin/ldconfig -R
.endif
This works correctly for 'make world' because /var/run/ld.so.hints
exists from when the system was booted up, and /etc/objformat specifies
aout as the OBJFORMAT.
This fails during a 'make release' because it is run in a chroot'd
environment where /var/run/ld.so.hints does not exist. ie:
chroot /snap/release /mk
which is done in /usr/src/Makefile.
I see two options:
1. Do not execute the ldconfig command when in the chroot'd
environment, at which point /var/run/ld.so.hints will be
created the 1st time an installed system is booted.
2. ldconfig needs to be given the same default set of paths
which are specified in /usr/src/etc/rc.conf at boot time.
Would an appropriate person with commit ability please take 5
minutes to look into this problem?
Comments? Critiques?
Thanks!
John
