I can EXPECT it. Particularly when "world" starts out like this....
And I cannot "make bootstrap" without first "make mk"
It certainly looks as if the intention were "to run straight out of the box".
The problem is that in bootstrapping, you traditionally use only the most
primitive tools to get started. As an example "cp" is used for ${INSTALL}.
You also want the bootstrap makefiles to avoid any "fancy" features that
are not common in all versions of make.
Once you get past the bootstrap phase, you can then use those features all
you wish.
It seems that the present design has forgotten those design concepts.
world:
.if target(pre-world)
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " Making 'pre-world' target"
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} pre-world
@echo
.endif
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " Making hierarchy"
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} hierarchy
@echo
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
@echo " Rebuilding /usr/share/mk"
@echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} mk

.endif
