I almost never do a `make world' unless I know some dramatic change has occurred which forces a bootstrap (like the upgrade from GCC 2.6.0 to 2.6.1). Instead, here's what I do: 1) Install any new /usr/src/include include files by hand. 2) Run beforeinstall targets for any likely-sounding directories. 3) Run `make depend' at the top level, and watch which dependencies get rebuilt. 4) Go to /usr/src/lib and /usr/src/secure/lib, and do a `make all' in both directories. ONLY INSTALL THE LIBRARIES THAT ACTUALLY GET REBUILT. (This part is important, because a `make install' at the /usr/src/lib level will cause crt0 to get reinstalled, thus forcing a re-link of the entire known universe.) 5) Go back to /usr/src and do a `make most'. This will do a single-pass rebuild of all the programs in the system. 6) If this succeeds, do a `make installmost'. This will install the programs, but not the libraries or /usr/src/share stuff. If all goes well, this should take less than two hours. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
