This is how it used to be done, except it used to be done more elegantly by always installing miniperl so that it is easy to exec. > Then anyone who wants to build the Perl outside ``buildworld'' > would run ``make build-tool'' first, then ``make all''. Correction: this is not how it used to be done :-). Anyone who wanted to build perl outside of ``buildworld'' just had to run ``make''. (This depended on miniperl being installed by a previous run; you have to do more, e.g. a full buildworld to bootstrap, just like for cc.) This is normal behaviour. The special cases for build-tools should only apply if BOOTSTRAPPING is set. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
