Also, if you already did make buildworld, you should do make installworld instead of make world. make world basically combines the two steps of make buildworld and make installworld into one command. > > Haven't heard of "make world", I think this should be "make installworld", but > not sure. make world combines the two commands make buildworld and make installworld. > > > after subsequent cvsups is it still necessary to make buildworld? It depends on how much has changed.. If only a couple files has changed it is pointless to rebuild the entire world. You can just go into the source directories where the files are that have changed and rebuild that instead with "make all install". If a lot of files have changed, or very important systems have changed, then yes, remake the world. If you are new at this, and are not sure how to rebuild individual parts of the source tree, then it is probably easiest for you just to make the world, and may not be a big deal if you start it before you go to bed. It will be done by morning for sure. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
