The problem is that even after my fix to examples/ipfilter/Makefile (which added NOOBJ to ipfilter subdir), the old "make world" may have left the .OBJDIR for examples/ipfilter. What it means for "examples" is that .OBJDIR != .CURDIR (as implied by the NOOBJ hint). The solution is to remove the stale objdir, as Peter have suggested. My (safe) version thus looks like this: cd /usr/src/share/examples; \ [ `make -V .OBJDIR ` != `make -V .CURDIR` ] && rm -rf `make -V .OBJDIR` Mark, please back your 1.32 revision from share/examples/Makefile out, as it only hides the problem with a wrong .OBJDIR. In the presence of the .OBJDIR for share/examples and revision 1.32, we just end up not installing anything from examples/* subdirs. Compare: # cd /usr/src/share/examples # mkdir /usr/obj/usr/src/share/examples # make -n copies # rmdir /usr/obj/usr/src/share/examples # make -n copies Cheers, -- Ruslan Ermilov Oracle Developer/DBA, ru@sunbay.com Sunbay Software AG, ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer, +380.652.512.251 Simferopol, Ukraine http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
