Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 21:37:23 +0800 From: Peter Wemm Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Watch out, there is a condition in 'make world' that can cause all your src/sys/{net,sys,vm,netinet,etc..}/*.h files to get deleted. I'm think this only happens with 'make -DNOCLEAN world', and only if there are symlinks in the /usr/obj/tmp/usr/include tree at the point that the world is built. I have committed a fix, but this is a heads up for people building not-quite-current sources with -DNOCLEAN. So, if you have got important changes to src/sys/*/*.h, take a backup copy of them to be sure. Make sure you DO NOT do a 'make -DNOCLEAN world' with rev 1.185 of src/ Makefile. Everything else should be fine (at least, it shouldn't delete your source files....). Looks like I get the pointy hat for this one. Sorry folks... :-( Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
