Hi all,

I have a -stable box on which I would like to compile
4.9-release, and install the 4.9 world on a different partition
(so to be able to boot from that partition too).

I think I want to do something similar to a release or to a
cross-build, but somehow the make installworld step fails. 

/mnt/fbsd49  contains the 4.9-release sources, and nothing more
/mnt/cdboot  is the partition on which I would like to install the world

I do the following:

DESTDIR=/mnt/cdboot
rm -r $DESTDIR/*
cd /mnt/fbsd49/usr/src
make buildworld      # runs fine
make buildkernel     # runs fine

make installworld DESTDIR=$DESTDIR, or
env -i make installworld DESTDIR=$DESTDIR

fails, end of output is

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    >>> Installing everything..
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    cd /mnt/fbsd49/usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 install
    ===> share/info
    install -o root -g wheel -m 444  dir-tmpl /mnt/cdboot/usr/share/info/dir
    install:No such file or directory
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /mnt/fbsd49/usr/src/share/info.
    *** Error code 1


It seems that make cannot find the "install" utility???

what am I missing? I feel I should chroot in /mnt/fbsd49, but obviously
this would require a previous installworld in /mnt/fbsd49....

thanks
marco
