Well, I must be dense or something, but I can't get -current to create
the damn ioconf.h file for the life of me. I don't know what changed from
2.1r that would cause it to bomb. But it does. I've followed this thread
which has provided me no information that I didn't already know or do.
I get the following error right after the deletion of the old compiled
directory. I don't know why it's unknown, especially when it's like
the third one down in a list of 5. No modifications of the makefile has been
done, option options selected, and later commected out in hopes of getting
it to compile, which hasn't helped. I'm not a Unix programmer, but under-
stand most of what's going on without needing to know the mechanics.
Unknown % construct in generic makefile: %SFILES
Why does this show up and how can I eliminate it. What files does -current
need to have in order to compile correctly?
If I had sup setup, would I be experiencing this problem?
If sup IS setup, will I be downloading code that could break my system,
which is a production box? I don't want to beta new code.
I need help. I *need* BSDI 2.0 binary compatibility and it's been like
pulling teeth with tweezers to get a working compilable kernel. I'm just
a tad bit frustrated at this whole process because I"ve wasted alot of
time dinking around trying to figure out why the damn won't compile.
All the great advice so far hasn't helped. I've downloaded the entire
directory structure of /.3/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/ from ftp.cdrom.com
so unless there's more I should have all the code. What else do I need to
do?
I'm running 2.1R now without problems and the compilation went very smooth.
iocomf.h must have been created when I compiled that version. I have removed
any additions to the new kernel and basically have the same kerenl config
as that of 2.1R. I have to be missing something other that just rerunning
config <kernel_name>.
I can't believe that this is that hard to get straight. Besides compiling
the new kernel, what else will I need to compile in order to get -current
to work.
I don't have a second machine to work with so what ever I do has to be done
on a production box and then rebooted. I'd like a second box, but I have
to wait on that.
Thanks for letting me get my frustrations out. 5 days is too long to be
dinking with this thing.
Mark
