Wow, I just "discovered" the make stuff in /usr/share/mk -- very cool. I was trying to install CVSup, which required the libz library (in shared format). I went and ftp'ed the /usr/src/lib/libz/* stuff from freefall, and did a make.. it produced the libz.a and libz_p.a files. I took a look at the makefile (I wanted a .so, but had no idea how to go about this) and noticed the include of bsd.lib.mk on the last line of the Makefile. So I did a find and located it, and after readin the README, I saw the light and understood what was happening here! I also noticed from examining the bsd.lib.mk makefile that I just needed to make a $(.CURDIR)/shlib_version directoy and I'd get my shared lib library!! Happy happy was I! It all worked out, I learned something about BSD, and now I'm CVSupping the RELENG_2_2 tree to start poking around and helping out with finding some bugs.. Super! Everyday I like FreeBSD (and BSD in general) more and more -- congrats to everyone involved, I've never had so much fun with a computer!! Just a happy little note from a satisfied user. cya, -Mark P.S. I'm spending every free minute I have trying to learn more about FreeBSD, C, and Unix in general so I can contribute to the project. Hopefully I'll be useful sometime in the not-so-distant future :-) ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
