Since then I have tried to reboot on every failure and start building againg. It compiles fine for a 3-5 hours, then fails at different places. It seems that a new make buildworld does not pickup from where it failed, but deletes files at the beginning or something. Is there a way to split the buildworld target into sub targets such as to not restart every time? I know there is the -DNO_CLEAN option, but I'd prefer to build succesfully each subtarget rather than resume upon failure. Thanks, Erik -- Erik Nørgaard Ph: +34.666334818 http://www.locolomo.org
