The transition build should be performed without BINFORMAT, OBJFORMAT or /etc/objformat being set. I assumed that if you had done previous builds with BINFORMAT set to elf, then you must have been running elf, otherwise you would get wierd build errors. FWIW, I tested the upgrade starting with a clean 2.2.5/6/7 or current system. By clean, I mean no changes to /etc/make.conf from what was distributed in each release. I can't think of a way of preventing local overrides in /etc/make.conf from breaking the build. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
