I wish somebody would try my solution again from a completely clean box so we can confirm it wasn't a fluke. Unless contrary evidence crops up, FAQ maintainers and buildworld webpage authors feel free to post the solution. somebody said: >cd /usr/src >make -m /usr/src/share/mk world (or buildworld) You'd think this would work but as others can attest to, it doesn't. I can't believe we've all fatfingered the command. If you are using 2.2.6-STABLE or some previous incarnation of -current, this may work just fine. BTW, what's up with the following logic? >.if (!make(world)) && (!make(buildworld)) && (!make(installworld)) >.MAKEFLAGS:= -m ${.CURDIR}/share/mk ${.MAKEFLAGS} >.endif if we're doing any of the *world, don't we WANT to be using the mk files in /usr/src/share/mk? >cd /usr/src >make -m buildworld MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout is close but does *NOT* work from -RELEASE. You will get messages about the linker not finding "___error which was referenced from the text segment." The problem is that a library is old. I don't know which one. Anyone know? Rebuilding the libs solves it. So, (drumroll) this is how you build -current from 2.2.6-RELEASE. I make no promises about any earlier version. FWIW, I adopted the build procedure we use in OpenBSD to get things rolling. 1. cvsup src-all (8pm EST 9 July) 2. cd /usr/src/share/mk # not much point NOT to do this, also obviates the need for the "-m /usr/src/share/mk" directive 3. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout install 4. cd /usr/src/include # old sources can be dangerous 5. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout install 6. cd /usr/src/lib # nukes the ___error problem 7. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout 8. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout install *caution* a couple of make files are broken, see notes 9. cd /usr/src 10. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout buildworld 11. wait an eternity (even on a PPro233 with 128mb of RAM), watch a movie 12. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout installworld 13. quick, compile a new kernel Notes: /usr/src/lib/libtcl/Makefile is broken in the beforeinstall: target. The 'for' loop with argument 'e' that's supposed to install the *.tcl files from the library directory, constructs a command line for install that it barfs on. Make quits with error 64. Do it by hand or simply comment out the section. It's not crucial. I put in a sendbug. Hopefully it went thru. /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/Makefile tries to install a file lockf.3.gz in the man(3) section. I deleted the entry from the list though lockf.3 does exist. Will have to look at this again. To think I went through all this pain just to get a SMP kernel so I can crack rc5des faster. My word of advice: if you want SMP, save yourself the hassle and start with a -current snapshot. *whew* -------- "If I were called upon to identify briefly the principal trait of the 20th Century, here too I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy than to repeat once again: Men have forgotten God." - Aleksander Solzhenitsyn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
