Ahhh... Ok I've tried this and run into some trouble. The 'make install'
died at one point (when 'install -C' was called) but I got this by doing
'make install' from the /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall directory. Now doing
the 'make install' from /usr/src was able to go much further, but it
died with the following output:
===> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 555 ccvs-rsh rcs2log clmerge cln_hist
commit_prep cvs_acls cvscheck log log_accum mfpipe rcs-to-cvs rcs2log
rcslock sccs2rcs easy-import /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib
usage: install [-Ccdps] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2;
or file1 ... fileN directory
*** Error code 1
Stop.
So... what do I do now? Is the makefile in this directory busted or
something?
thanks very much,
