* From: Alfred Perlstein <bright@hotjobs.com> * uh :) that's because the packages are just pre-compiled binaries, most are * done in a.out to support 2.2.x, in fact i don't know of a ELF package made This is not true. Ports will be made to compile in either a.out or ELF, depending on what you are running on your system. (This means ELF for 3.0-snap/beta users.) Packages in packages-stable on ftp.freebsd.org are a.out only, but that's because it's for 2.2-stable. There will be ELF packgaes in packages-current soon. * On Tue, 22 Sep 1998, Pierre Beyssac wrote: * * > Another small problem with the installed configuration: all the * > distribution is in ELF format, but the default configuration seems to * > generate a.out executables when installing packages.

We never know what the hell their configure is thinking. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
