I'm trying to go from 4.1-RELEASE to 4.1-STABLE. I set up a PC with a clean install of 4.1-RELEASE from an ISO image CD that I burned at work. (I set this maching up as a test bed before I trashed any of my live machines.) I then installed cvsup and cvsupd from ports. The cvs run against cvsup3.freebsd.org appears to work correctly. When I try make buildworld I get: mkdir: build: File exists *** Error code 1 This appears to be for /contrib/perl5/toke.c I found part of a thread in freebsd-current that appears to match my symptoms exactly. The thread was around 2/23/00. The last entry talked about 'stale dependencies' and suggested deleting /usr/obj/* and /usr/src/*. Then cvsuping new sources and trying again. I could find nothing further of the thread so I do not know how the other person made out. Per the Email thread, I erased /usr/src and /usr/obj, reran cvsup, and tried make buildworld again. I encountered the same error. Can anybody help a -STABLE wannabe fix this? Cheers... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
