Well, not completely. I committed a Makefile-based build back in December, and it works. > Thanks to Omachonu Ogali (aka missnglnk) there are fixes waiting for > review in the PR database: > > http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17737 *sigh* I'm sure that these patches improve things, but they're really bandaids on a conceptually broken build process. I should have looked earlier and pointed Omachonu at the "custom" target. I see he looked at it and made a fix, which was due to the change of a kernel option. I assume this means he found no other problem with it. There's no reason (apart from time) why we shouldn't adapt the Makefile-based build to the other targets. This seems a much better way to go than to maintain the old build scripts, which aren't really BSD-like.
