Running the same command twice to get > things really clean sounds suspicious ;-) Let me explain ``make cleandir'' then. *IF* you have a /usr/obj/usr/src/ tree, then ``make cleandir'' will clean that tree out. Thus if somehow you have junk in /usr/src/, it will not get cleaned out. On the second run of ``make cleandir'' it will notice that /usr/obj/ is empty and assume you were building "in-place" and clean out /usr/src/. cd /usr/src ; make cleandir ; make cleandir solves weird build problems much of the time. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
