The latest `make aout-to-elf' will automatically do that and /etc/rc has been changed to include the aout subdirectory in the aout ldconfig path so that legacy a.out X applications will continue to run. I think it's time for all those who haven't moved their a.out X libs to do so, and put doscmd/xroach/xditview back on the build list. There is even a make target just for that: move-aout-libs. -lq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
