Hi folks, I was bitten by a surprise case of 'which objdir are you using?' Pick a program, let's say sed... :-) Hi archie! cd /usr/src/usr.bin/sed && make The objects are put into /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/sed. But wait, not all the objects rebuilt, and the linker is complaining about unrecognized file formats! Well, the default object tree was never cleaned out when the aout-elf conversion took place. Well, I blew the tree away, and now objects are getting written into the src dir. What I really want is the default to be /usr/obj/elf/usr/... (those do happen to be the objects linked into my live system you know), or /usr/obj/aout/usr/... if the current objformat is aout... So the question is: Should we update make to have the default objdir match the objformat that is currently set? Should we leave /usr/obj/usr alone? (I don't like this). Of course, maybe this is already fixed and I missed a config file update or something... :-) comments, critiques, and stupid user invectives are most welcome! Thanks!
