I cvsup'd just yesterday and did a make world on machine 1 with no trouble. I then tried to do the make reinstall on machine 2 and encountered a problem when it processes the contents of /usr/src/lib: ===> lib/libalias install -C -o bin -g bin -m 444 /usr/bigness/src/lib/libalias/alias.h /usr/include install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 libalias.a /usr/lib install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 libalias_p.a /usr/lib install: libalias_p.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop. Not to be deterred, I did this (still on machine 2): cd /usr/src/lib/libalias make # chews for a moment make intall # no errors! cd ../.. make reinstall # let's try again It gets past the install of lib/libalias, but as it next tries to work on lib/libc it dies with a similar error, in this case: install: libc_p.a: No such file or directory This time, however, my above trick doesn't work. A make in the lib/libc directory produces this many times repeated: "/usr/bigness/src/lib/libc/../libc//Makefile.inc", line 16: Missing dependency operator "/usr/bigness/src/lib/libc/../libc//Makefile.inc", line 16: Too many nested if's. 30 max. Am I doing something wrong or is something unhappily broken? The make reinstall feature is a _very_ helpful thing for those of us with multiple boxes.
