Since I started this most recent round of posts on this infernal question,
I am most happy to report that I have a working solution (others may
exist). I wish somebody would try my solution again from a completely clean
box so we can confirm it wasn't a fluke. Unless contrary evidence crops up,
FAQ maintainers and buildworld webpage authors feel free to post the
solution.
somebody said:
>cd /usr/src
>make -m /usr/src/share/mk world (or buildworld)
You'd think this would work but as others can attest to, it doesn't. I
can't believe we've all fatfingered the command. If you are using
2.2.6-STABLE or some previous incarnation of -current, this may work just
fine.
BTW, what's up with the following logic?
>.if (!make(world)) && (!make(buildworld)) && (!make(installworld))
>.MAKEFLAGS:= -m ${.CURDIR}/share/mk ${.MAKEFLAGS}
>.endif
if we're doing any of the *world, don't we WANT to be using the mk files in
/usr/src/share/mk?
>cd /usr/src
>make -m buildworld MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout
is close but does *NOT* work from -RELEASE. You will get messages about the
linker not finding "___error which was referenced from the text segment."
The problem is that a library is old. I don't know which one. Anyone know?
Rebuilding the libs solves it.
So, (drumroll) this is how you build -current from 2.2.6-RELEASE. I make no
promises about any earlier version. FWIW, I adopted the build procedure we
use in OpenBSD to get things rolling.
1. cvsup src-all (8pm EST 9 July)
2. cd /usr/src/share/mk # not much point NOT to do this, also
obviates the need for the "-m /usr/src/share/mk" directive
3. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout install
4. cd /usr/src/include # old sources can be dangerous
5. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout install
6. cd /usr/src/lib # nukes the ___error problem
7. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout
8. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout install
*caution* a couple of make files are broken, see notes
9. cd /usr/src
10. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout buildworld
11. wait an eternity (even on a PPro233 with 128mb of RAM), watch a movie
12. make MACHINE_ARCH="i386" BINFORMAT=aout installworld
13. quick, compile a new kernel
Notes:
/usr/src/lib/libtcl/Makefile is broken in the beforeinstall: target. The
'for' loop with argument 'e' that's supposed to install the *.tcl files
from the library directory, constructs a command line for install that it
barfs on. Make quits with error 64. Do it by hand or simply comment out the
section. It's not crucial. I put in a sendbug. Hopefully it went thru.
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/Makefile tries to install a file lockf.3.gz in the
man(3) section. I deleted the entry from the list though lockf.3 does
exist. Will have to look at this again.
To think I went through all this pain just to get a SMP kernel so I can
crack rc5des faster. My word of advice: if you want SMP, save yourself the
hassle and start with a -current snapshot. *whew*
