I read the man pages for make several times but do not see anywhere mentioned that I am supposed to know anything. It implies that what compiled yesterday should compile today. In othert words, here is the tail output of make buildworld of this afternoon: echo libcvs.so..: `LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/3.0/src/tmp/usr/lib:/usr/obj/usr/src/3.0/src/ tmp/usr/lib cc -nostdinc -shared -Wl,-f ` >> .depend ===> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/libdiff make: don't know how to make diff.c. Stop *** Error code 2 Now, about that kernel build that faild for you this nice evening. As I do not have the same failure... Oh, just kidding, never mind :-) Actually, I do not see the failure you see. Shrug... ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313
