Maybe I'll get a better response from the QUESTIONS mailing list. -------------------------- I'm trying to upgrade a 2.1-STABLE machine to RELENG_3. I cvsup'ed RELENG_3 on 5/13/99 from cvsup.freebsd.org. I'm following instructions I found by searching the mail archives in combination w/ Nik Clayton's "Making the world your own" (which I've used many times in the past to track 2.1-STABLE and 2.2-STABLE). The upgrade instructions say to do "make aout-to-elf-build" in /usr/src. It immediately flashed the warning message: "Makefile.upgrade", line 111: warning: Couldn't read shell's output This doesn't seem to bother the make, because it continues to: -------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrading the installed make -------------------------------------------------------------- Then it does: -------------------------------------------------------------- Doing an aout buildworld to get an up-to-date set of tools -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Cleaning up the temporary aout build tree -------------------------------------------------------------- Then it dies during: -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Making make -------------------------------------------------------------- with the following error message: main.o: Undefined symbol `_sysctlbyname' referenced from text segment *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. Is it supposed to make "make" after it did so in the first step "Upgrading the installed make"? And why did it appear to build "make" successfully the first time and die w/ an unresolved symbol the second time? What can I try to get this thing to build? I used "script" to capture the output from running make, if anyone wants to take a look --------------- John A.
