How can make "know" that a tool like yacc has an extra argument in 3.0 that if didn't have in 2.2.5 ? AFAIK, you have to code this in a Makefile somewhere. All I am suggesting is that src/Makefile should to a 'uname -r' and build a few extra programs (make, yacc, ld) early depending on 2.2.5-RELEASE, 2.2.6-STABLE or 3.0-CURRENT. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
