I wish I had time to do that, but I really do not have time to sort how to determine that reliably, also people have been pretty upset if anything in the build changes lately and anything breaks. So I am very afraid to touch any defaults. Due to time and the pressure to not break anything I can do one of two things: 1) clean up the two targets I've submitted and put them in a Makefile.cross-install, then document them in the main Makefile. 2) Keep this code in my own repo. Sorry. Let me know if there is a way forward with 1 for the time being? -Alfred > > > > - Matthias > > -- > Matthias Meyser | XeNET GmbH > Tel.: +49-5323-9489050 | 38678 Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Marktstrasse 40 > Fax: +49-5323-9489059 | Registergericht: Amtsgericht Braunschweig HRB 110823 > Email: Meyser@xenet.de | Geschaeftsfuehrer: Matthias Meyser > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
