      Hello everyone,


   I'm now in the process of upgrading a system from 2.2.2-RELEASE to
-STABLE to be able to use this great new xl driver on it !

   I've used CTM to get the latest available sources (up to
src-2.2.0848.gz) and unpacked them in /usr/src.


   Now for the questions : I've customized parts of my system, especially
installed Perl 5 and Sendmail 8.9.1 as a replacement for Perl and Sendmail
provided with FreeBSD. If I "make world", will these be replaced by other
versions, and if yes, how can I avoid it ?

   When I "make buildworld" for a test, I get some weired messages. I'm not
sure if they indicate errors or car be just ignored :

When building the C library, which is, I beleive, an important part of the
system :-)

>building shared c library (version 3.1)
>--- libc.so.3.1 ---
>nm: bt_debug.so: no name list.
>building special pic c library
>--- libc_pic.a ---
>ranlib libc_pic.a
>--- libc.a ---
>--- libc.so.3.1 ---
>nm: euc.so: no name list.
>building standard c library
>nm: mskanji.so: no name list.
>nm: utf2.so: no name list.
>--- libc.a ---
>nm: bt_debug.o: no name list.
>nm: euc.o: no name list.
>nm: mskanji.o: no name list.
>nm: utf2.o: no name list.

At the end of the compile : 

>--- umap_vfsops.o ---
>/usr/src/lkm/umapfs/../../sys/miscfs/umapfs/umap_vfsops.c:434: warning: no
>previous prototype for `umap_mod'
>--- umap_vnops.o ---
>/usr/src/lkm/umapfs/../../sys/miscfs/umapfs/umap_vnops.c: In function
>`umap_rename':
>/usr/src/lkm/umapfs/../../sys/miscfs/umapfs/umap_vnops.c:467: warning:
>passing arg 1 of `umap_bypass' from incompatible pointer type

... and many more warnings like these ... Compile seems to proceed to its 
end, though.

   Can these "no name list" and warnings be ignored, or do I have to check
something before I "make installworld" ?


   Thanks in advance for your answer, and I would also greatly appreciate
any pointer to documentation about the "make world" process. I only have 
http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html
for now.
