That's not enough to go on. Need the actual error lines, if it were a real bug. Of course, it clearly isn't, because all the rest of us can build current just fine. I just tried it again, with a really clean system, nothing is broke. Most of the time, this is either because your copy of the sources is somehow garbled, or because you have some trash somehow in either your obj or source dirs. The connonically right way is cd to /usr/src, do a make cleandir (killing your entire /usr/obj), and doing a make world. This ONLY will work if your sources are good. The stuff in current works, it's not broken, so if this doesn't work for you, either your sources are messed up, or your obj files aren't really clean. I think using something like Steve Price's patch for make clean, which makes the .depend files get cleaned, would stop at least a good part of the complaints, those caused by old stuff in the obj dirs. Using John Polstra's great cvsup instead of sup would fix many of the sup problems, too. Why can't sup be put to bed permanently, now that we know for sure that cvsup works dandy? > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
