Except for one thing (though I'm not sure if this is supposed to be supported): On my ELF FreeBSD-stable system I wanted to "make aout-to-elf-build" so that I later, on another computer still running 2.2.6-release (I think it is), could do a make install-aout-to-elf. However "make aout-to-elf-build" breaks trying to build doscmd. The Makefile is fooled into trying to link in the installed X11 libraries, which of course are ELF format and not suitable for use in aout-to-elf-build. Sigh. Seems that the makefile should test both if the X libraries/directories exist and whether the libraries are in the correct binary format. It looks like I can use the command "make aout-to-elf-build X11BASE=/nonexistant" to fool the Makefile into not including X11 support ind doscmd. (running this as a test right now). If this sort of "cross-compilation"/updating is not supported, it's not an issue. -- Jacob Lorensen; Mosebuen 33, 1.; DK-2820 Gentofte, Denmark; +45 39560401 PGPid: 0x752EB4DE Fingerprint: F609A0BAFF393EA904F7-F344680F8EED752EB4DE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
