If there's a bug I need > to fix it. Bill, I had no indication that mknetid failed at all, just that there wasn't any ./mknetid/obj directory for install to install. I'd done a make world 36 hours earlier, had followed Jordan's instructions about it (his email message before he changed the make stuff) and I had mounted the /usr/src and /usr/obj dirs on another machine, so I could install it over there. That's where the make install failed, and started me looking. I DON'T want to be part of the current 'make' war, please. I just axed the /usr/obj (on a suggestion by Jordan) and used make cleandir obj to build another obj. It built it in a place I hadn't expected it, /usr/obj/usr/src/libexec/mknetid, and all I want to find out is if that's considered the correct address for future obj links. Seems odd to put usr/src in there, but if it's right, I can deal with that. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
