Folks without the entire source tree on line should probably not be attempting to run ``make includes''. It would fail now if any of the directories need by this are missing. [I am working on the later for the SHARED=copies case]. If they want to run with limit src tree they well need to be careful about CLOBBER and /usr/include. With the new .mk and Makefile mods in place the correct command for a partial src tree would become: cd /usr/src; make INCLUDE_TYPES=copies includes Note that INCLUDE_TYPES is my new name for ``SHARED'', since this is become overloaded. The default INCLUDE_TYPES will be copies, so in the above command you could leave this out. My new includes: target is a lot smarter than the current one, it uses a list of places to cd into and run ``make install_includes''. For each directory in this list we first check to see if that place exists in the src tree, if it does not a little skip message is printed and things continue on there way. I could add some better error checking for the CLOBBER case and make this an error condition instead of just a warning. Right now I use a compatibility hack in the .mk files that calls beforeinstall: for install_includes: so that I don't have to modify a pile of Makefiles at this time. If 2.1 is pushed out past the end of April I should have time to finish this work off and intergrate a massive .mk overhall, if not it can wait for 2.2. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
