How I installed:
First I installed FreeBSD 4.6, then using cvsup with a file
similar to below, I upgraded the system from 4.6, to 4.7, to
4.8, to 4.9, then to 4.10, all by source code. Never had a
problem.
Then my drive crashed and so I bought a new one and
installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 as that was the latest at the time of
the crash.
PRISTINE install of 5.2.1 using network install.
Then I ran cvsup
cvsup cvsup_file
The cvsup file was just like the one below, but it said 5_2
instead of 5_3. I was able to build the system with 5.2.1 and
uname -a showed patch 11.
> make buildworld
> cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
> config MYKERNEL
> cd ../compile/MYKERNEL
> make && make install
> reboot
then
> make installworld
That's pretty much how I got from 5.2.1 install to 5.2.1
p11. Worked perfectly fine.
Then changing the cvsup file below to be what is it, I ran
> cvsup cvsup_file
> cd /usr/src
> make clean
> make buildworld
The first error message was on that
/usr/src/contrib/gperf/lib/getopt.h is missing.
Then I copied what was in /usr/include to gperf/lib directory
and restarted make buildworld . 2 more directories complained
about this same file missing so both times I did the same
> cp /usr/include/getopt.h to config/ directories.
This solved the first problem.
The next error message was also in the contrib directory, at
this point I dont remember the exact message, but it was
complaining that bconfig.h was missing.
So I then tried
> rm -rf /usr/src/contrib
> rm -rf /usr/src/gnu
> cvsup cvsup_file
I ran into the same problems.
I have now reverted back to 5.2.1 and it is building
perfectly fine.
So going from 5.2.1 p11 to 5.3, was there some step I missed?
I've never had to do use the line
src-all tag=RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_2_2
before, do I need to do this now?
Why or how, if I completely deleted the contrib directory
would old files get there?
