I was told this was the place to write. If I was misinformed, please tell me where to write with this question: I am building FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE vial "make world". I began with a base of FreeBSD 2.2.5-PREREL. I downloaded the src-2.2.0500xEmpty.gz thru 0510 deltas, putting them all in a temp directory. I went to /usr and typed "rm -r src" to get rid of the old source code. I typed "ctm -v -v /<temp directory>/src*.gz" and it extracted everything. Then I typed "make world". Question 1: It's been running for 18 hours. I have an IBM BlueLightning 486-75 with 16 megs of RAM and 32 megs of swap-space. The make is really the only user process running. I'm using another computer for everything until it gets done. Roughly how long can I expect this to take? (ballpark?) Question 2: It keeps popping up warnings/errors. Things like "nm: no name list" "strtoq.c 108: integer overflow in expression". I've looked at a few of the files that the messages indicate - I'm a Perl programmer. I don't know C that well and I can't honestly say I could recognize an error if I saw one unless it was blatant. Are these messages supposed to pop up, or have I somehow botched the process? I've seen such messages cross the screen several times. Question 3: If these messages are supposed to pop up, wouldn't it be nice to have that listed in the docs somewhere? Or have I just overlooked them? I've looked in the handbook and faq and they did nothing to ease my mind. Perhaps a one-liner: During the make world process, several benign error/warning messages will pop up - these can safely be ignored"... ? Thanks.
