Leftover garbage will >confuse things sometimes. ok, i removed /usr/src/sys and got hold of the ssys.* files again. when the whatever.tar.gz (created from the ssys.* files) is decompressed, it says that the garbage is ignored. i customised the GENERIC config file and tried to make it.... still the DST and TIMEZONE errors occured and sure enough, looking in param.c the DST and TIMEZONE variables do seem to be used before assigned values but then again, i'm not a coder ...... so, for amusement, i commented that line out .... compilation continued until the following : Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/src/sys/libkern cc -O -I/usr/src/sys/libkern -I/usr/src/sys/libkern/.. -DKERNEL -c mcount.c -o mcount.o *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. >> I'm guessing I need part of the src distribution.

All the opts are in LINT. did i perhaps make a boo boo in the config file ???? cheers, chas
