Or download 8.4 sources: rm -rf /usr/src svn export svn://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/8.4 /usr/src and upgrade the `make` binary only: cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make make make install Or (untested) copy the file /usr/bin/make from 8.4 CD or its image, an example for i386: fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/8.4/FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso mdconfig -f FreeBSD-8.4-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt cp -p /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make.bak cp /mnt/usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make umount /mnt mdconfig -d -u 0 Or if i386 then you can use the binary from my 8.4: fetch http://lena.kiev.ua/make84.bin cp -p /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/make.bak cp make84.bin /usr/bin/make _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
