While I think the new cleanup of the obj handling is great, it appears that it's now impossible to build things *inside* of the /usr/obj tree now? How does one build stuff inside of the current directory using the current mk macros? I leave /usr/obj (and the symlinks) populated with the most recent sources on my development box, so I don't have to re-build everything on updates. Then, when I do local hacking I 'mv obj obj_off' and do all my hacking knowing that I won't mess up my 'normal' obj files, and then after I finish I do a 'cvs update; make cleandir; mv obj_off obj' and I'm back to where I was before I started. Is this still possible? How does make handle things for non-system source such as ports which don't have (and shouldn't have) obj directories? Nate
