Sorry I missed the begining of this thread, is anything broken? >Also, how about "make DESTDIR=foo buildkernel installkernel" which is >something I've been doing for years, you're saying that now that won't >work because DESTDIR will be there during the build part? It will be set - but that doesn't mean it would have any effect/impact. Oh and contrary to what I told Adrian earlier, buildworld's manipulation of DESTDIR would generally be unaffected, because the makefiles do not actually attempt to set it (vs simply passing a new value to a submake). An demo might help. In the following BINDIR is affected by a value set in either environment or on commandline LIBDIR is only affected by a value set on commandline The DESTDIR seen by install run by child is unaffected by anything, even though the values for LIBDIR and BINDIR are. --------------------8<-------------------- BINDIR?= /bin LIBDIR= /lib all: install child install: @echo DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} @echo install stuff to ${DESTDIR}${BINDIR} @echo install stuff to ${DESTDIR}${LIBDIR} child: ${MAKE} -f ${MAKEFILE} DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install demo: all envset cmdset envset: BINDIR=/sbin LIBDIR=/usr/lib DESTDIR=$@ ${MAKE} -f ${MAKEFILE} cmdset: ${MAKE} -f ${MAKEFILE} BINDIR=/sbin LIBDIR=/usr/lib DESTDIR=$@ --------------------8<-------------------- $ make -r -f /homes/sjg/make-tests/destdir demo DESTDIR= install stuff to /bin install stuff to /lib make -f /homes/sjg/make-tests/destdir DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install stuff to /tmp/childest/bin install stuff to /tmp/childest/lib BINDIR=/sbin LIBDIR=/usr/lib DESTDIR=envset make -f /homes/sjg/make-tests/destdir DESTDIR=envset install stuff to envset/sbin install stuff to envset/lib make -f /homes/sjg/make-tests/destdir DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install stuff to /tmp/childest/sbin install stuff to /tmp/childest/lib make -f /homes/sjg/make-tests/destdir BINDIR=/sbin LIBDIR=/usr/lib DESTDIR=cmdset DESTDIR=cmdset install stuff to cmdset/sbin install stuff to cmdset/usr/lib make -f /homes/sjg/make-tests/destdir DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install DESTDIR=/tmp/childest install stuff to /tmp/childest/sbin install stuff to /tmp/childest/lib $ _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
