I was finally able to build -stable on my -current box. : be careful though.. many of the normal binaries that you use aren't built, : you will probably need to modify the Makefile to build more binaries if : you want it to be useful... hmmmm. I have enough disk space that doing a make install DESTDIR=/xyzzy is an option for me. I'll have to investigate that more closely. : another thing to watch out for is the mk files path... you still end up : using the ones in /usr/share/mk/* instead of the buildworld's set... I : haven't figured out how to fix this... but they are modular enough that : you can just upgrade 'em... (becareful of bsd.prog.mk.. it contains : fixes for ELF that aren't compatible with 2.2, at least my version of 2.2) hmmm. make -m doesn't do this for you? : hope this info helps you get it running.. I'll let you know. I think that it would be a big win if there were some way to add support of this to the base system. I'm not sure I like the eval approach, since you use ksh, and I use tcsh :-). it is a good start, however, at cracking this problem. Warner
