Worked fine so far. cvsup created a src and a sup directory for me. Then I tried "make world". Unfortunately it broke after a few lines: -------------------------------------------------------------- make world started on Mon Jun 16 23:38:56 MET DST 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Making hierarchy -------------------------------------------------------------- cd /data/cache/FreeBSD/src && make hierarchy cd /data/cache/FreeBSD/src/etc && make distrib-dirs mtree -deU -f /data/cache/FreeBSD/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist -p / mtree -deU -f /data/cache/FreeBSD/src/etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist -p /var mtree: unknown group mail mtree: failed at line 37 of the specification *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. As far as I can see make distrib-dirs in etc fails because it somehow seems to list /var and create some kind of list out of it and mail is not supposed to be a group in that list. What destination is the DESTDIR variable exactly refering to? Anyway, the most important thing is: How do I get the stuff to compile??? Is there any documentation out there on this subject? Thanks in advance, Marcus Haebler
