Every time I see this suggestion posted, someone else jumps in with "But
it didn't work properly for me.", which is why I haven't put it in the
tutorial yet.
John, if you're happy, with the following, I'll add it as 5.3 to the
tutorial (bumping everything else on one). Can anyone else supply an
accurate value for 'x'?
5.3 Moving from 2.2.6 to -current later than 'x'
Some things changed with the -current build process on 'x', in
order to support the eventual transition from the a.out object
format to elf.
These changes mean that the build process needs to use the new
.mk files stored in /usr/src/share/mk, rather than the ones that
will currently be installed in /usr/share/mk.
In order to force the build process to use these files, add the
parameter '-m /usr/src/share/mk' to your make command line, like
so
# make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld
and
# make -m /usr/src/share/mk installworld
Typical symptoms of a build that has failed because of this are
seeing the following errors;
