To: stable@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 28 May 1996 23:25:23 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Over the holiday weekend I finally took the plunge and upgraded from 2.1R to -stable, and it all came together pretty easily, with only one glitch that wasn't my fault. I just went to ftp.freebsd.org and got the CTM kits src-2.1.0060C.gz through src-2.1.0106.gz and applied them, then 'cd /usr/src' and 'make world'. That glitch was that the makefile for tn3270 expected the executables of the tools to be in the source directories, rather than in the 'obj' directory. ===> usr.bin/tn3270/mset cd /usr/src/usr.bin/tn3270/mset/../tools/mkastosc; make /usr/src/usr.bin/tn3270/mset/../tools/mkastosc/mkastosc /usr/src/usr.bin/tn3270/mset/../ctlr/hostctlr.h /usr/src/usr.bin/tn3270/mset/../ctlr/function.h < /usr/src/usr.bin/tn3270/mset/../ctlr/unix.kbd > astosc.OUT /usr/src/usr.bin/tn3270/mset/../tools/mkastosc/mkastosc: not found *** Error code 2 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. That after about 19 hours. Even after sorting that out and restarting I failed to realize that /usr/obj was in my /usr partition and not in my gigabyte /usr/src partition, so about 26 hours after restarting it filled the /usr file system. :-( I moved the obj tree to the src partition and made a sym link from /usr/obj to /usr/src/obj, restarted, and it completed OK. I config'ed, made, and installed a new kernel, then 'make install' in /usr/src. Booted it up, and it Just Works. Thanks, everyone! BTW, the configuration is: 486DX2-66 on an old ISA motherboard, with an Adaptec 1542C and two big, old Micropolis 5400 rpm 3 Gbyte disks. -- Ted Spradley tsprad@metronet.com Information tends to drive out knowledge.
