Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi All, I have a fast 3.0-CURRENT system, and I need to build a 2.2.7-RELEASE, in order to muck around with the boot & fixit floppies... Can I get away doing this by copying the whole 2.2.7-RELEASE (/usr/src) source tree to a volume on the fast machine, e.g. /usr2/2.2.7-RELEASE And then running: cd /usr2/2.2.7-RELEASE make buildworld Are there any hardcoded paths in there that are going to screw up? - or is it generally 'not a good idea' to try building 2.2.X sources on 3.0 systems? (I'm worried about it finding / using 3.0 libs etc?) Any info greatly appreciated, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
