This now fails trying to call (internal) targets like: make: don't know how to make _obj. Stop or make: don't know how to make everything. Stop followed by: *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /u1/server-skel/etc and install files to the temproot environment sidenote: I think it should be "... or install..." Adding the targets blank helps to still use it but looking at the sources it seems to have hardcoded more constants like a proper share/mk for make -m system makefiles now as well. I wonder why those options need hardcoding into general installed file in a way that they are not replaceable by the user? If mergemaster is only used as a substitue for make distribution at install time to update merge from the freebsd src tree we should leave it as a src-tree update "dependency" and not install it to /usr/sbin at all. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
