guess you misunderstood me.... look at this section of the makefile:
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " Making hierarchy"
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} hierarchy
@echo
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " Installing everything.."
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} install
@echo
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " Rebuilding man page indexes"
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR}/share/man && ${MAKE} makedb
notices the install target... the ONLY time the installworld target
uses the files that were installed in buildworld, is the make program...
everything else is pulled from the obj directories... (which were never
"installed" in the buildworld target)...
so, installworld will be successful and run properly as long as you don't
pass any *BIN, *GRP options, it is NOT apart of the world target..
please at least look at the makefiles... it's not much different than
a shell script...
