Hi,
Yes, it is still recommended to do a buildworld for userland tools, adding =
'WITH_OFED=3D1' to /etc/make.conf.
Another way to go to install ibutils for instance:
cd /usr/src/contrib/ofed && make includes
cd /usr/src/contrib/ofed /usr.lib && make depend all install
cd /usr/src/contrib/ofed /usr.bin && make depend all install

For userland tools, is it still recommended to do a buildworld, or is a mor=
e targeted approach possible?
E.g., I'm thinking it might suffice to set WITH_OFED=3D'yes' in src.conf an=
d just rebuild select tools/libs. There appear to be things outside contri=
b/ofed and sys/modules that need to be rebuilt, but I wouldn't want to try =
and determine what they are on my own.
Thanks,
JB
