It fails very quickly for me: root@beast-> cd /usr/src/sys/boot/ root@beast-> ls CVS Makefile alpha common i386 root@beast-> make ===> alpha ===> alpha/libalpha cc -I/home/dfr/FreeBSD/alpha/src/lib/libstand -DDEBUG -I/usr/src/sys/boot/alpha/libalpha/../../common -mno-fp-regs -DDISK_DEBUG -c srmnet.c -o srmnet.o srmnet.c:45: net.h: No such file or directory srmnet.c:46: netif.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 And I can't find those headers anywhere. I reported this last week, as you might recall. There's also your fix for ncr.c and the uncopied/unmerged sio bits still undone, as far as I know. That's sort of why I was asking for a general status report on the tree as a whole, not just the boot blocks. I'm still trying to put my finger on just how much work is left before someone can do all the self-hosting work "from scratch" with no special tips or tricks, e.g. the point when we can sort of open the doors of -current to alpha folks without having to issue any special instructions short of the installation process itself. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
