I've done this recently and was impressed that all of my 2.2.6 era applications continued to work flawlessly under 3.0/elf. Even XF86_SVGA! Of course I went back and rebuilt everything in order to get rid of the aout libraries, but it will work. Don't forget to update /etc files, which include some ldconfig parameters for aout in rc.conf. -Chris On Mon, 28 Dec 1998, Jaye Mathisen wrote: > > Just: > > make world > > on a 2.2.8 box, with -current supped today. > > As I read the makefile, that's the proper method, the aout to elf is for > converting from a 3.0 aout system to a 3.0 elf system. > > If you're on a really old 2.x system, then the Makefile.upgrade is used to > build a few things that won't work w/o it...
