It seems that make world first wants to remove all the object files to begin a full build. Is 'make world' something that must be done after every 'sup'? Or, it is safe to 'sup' then do "make all" skipping the object removal part? I'm sure it depends on just what 'sup' has updated (e.g. libraries that should be relinked into all the executables). Is there a roadmap for updates and rebuilds so I don't have to bother you folks with such basic things? > No, it's not quite _that_ pathological.. :-) I didn't think so, but wanted to make sure. > I suggest `make world', myself. This will also do all the beforeinstall > stuff. Yup -- it's progressing nicely. BTW, where's the manual for "tar"? The built-in "--help" is okay, but I'm interested in the details such as which levels of gzip compression are used when you include the 'z' flag, etc. Thanks.
