I am not much of a makefile expert, but I have been trying various changes to see if I could fix the problem with building /rescue. On my system, a buildworld will always fail if I specify '-j'. It is time-consuming to try things, because it takes a while to do a whole buildworld.
Today it occurred to me that I could probably make things go much faster if I didn't do the whole buildworld. And indeed, it turns out that I get the same 'make' error if I use:
rm -Rf /usr/obj/usr/src/* cd /usr/src/rescue make -j5 obj make -j5 includes make -j5 depend make -j5 all
Where that error is:
make: don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue//usr/src/sbin/dhclient/client/clparse.o. Stop
*** Error code 2
1 error
*** Error code 2
1 error
The nice thing about this is that it only takes three minutes to get to that error, instead of the seventy minutes that it takes when doing it as part of buildworld. And if I drop the '-j5', then the error does not come up.
This also suggests I could probably get away with:
cd /usr/src
make -j5 -DNO_RESCUE buildworld
cd /usr/src/rescue
make obj includes && make depend && make all-- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
