The -C flag is only set when DESTDIR is set, which might be considered a bug since it prevents cross-compiling and cross-installation using different versions of FreeBSD, like in your case. But I'm not so sure that support for this is guaranteed when going from an older version to a newer version. I suppose you could try a) editing share/zoneinfo/Makefile and deleting the optC code or b) pointing PATH at DESTDIR, if it's already populated. -- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
