Hmmm, I'm specifically talking about when you have MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX set to something other than /usr/obj - it *almost* works, but /bin/sh uses files generated on-the-fly that get put in the wrong places (in the chroot'ed hierarchy). (ONLY when building the crunches - makeworld runs fine.) I suppose its beating a dead horse (got around it with a symlink or two) but it niggles - but that whole environment is just too twisted to follow. :( -----Original Message----- From: John Baldwin [mailto:jhb@FreeBSD.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 12:10 PM To: Gray, David W.

Feature. make release starts off by doing an installworld into the chroot'd area and using that area to do a cleanroom make world from which the release bits are rolled. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
