I was wondering if I cvsup the version of the OS I want, then do : # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make obj && make depend && make # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil # make obj && make depend && make # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make obj && make depend && make && make install if that would be enough? Later on, when I can afford to reboot the machine, I'll go through the : # 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). # 2. `make buildworld' # 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). # 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). # 6. `mergemaster -p' # 7. `make installworld' # 8. `mergemaster' # 9. `reboot' Procedure. I don't want to build out of ports because it is set up not to override the base install. Thanks, Tuc
