Unfortunately I can't repost the exact error because I didn't recored it and my only FreeBSD-2.2.6 box has since been upgraded to 3.0-current. I will however try to explain as best I can the error. First there were several errors concerning the if {MACHINE_ARCH} = "i386" conditional in the toplevel make file. in /usr/src running: make -m buildworld or make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld both gave identical results. Running: make -m buildworld MACHINE_ARCH="i386" would build for a very short time (about 5 lines of output, sorry I can't be more specific) until it hit a simaler error about BINFORMAT Running the below command from /usr/src succesfuly built the 3.0-current source tree from yesterday. make -m buildworld MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout This was all done on 2.2.6-stable from Sunday. I am quite sure I typed the command exactly since I tried it about 30 times. But to be sure I would have to check my .bash_history and I'm not at home right now. If this is really important I can try to replicate it on another computer but I would have to cvsup the 2.2.6-stable source tree, make world then cvsup 3.0-current, and make world. All with a 28.8 on a 486 133MHz. If its important I will do it. I hope I am being of a little help. -- --Travis tcole@nihilist.org -- http://nihilist.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
