Oh, that reminded me. For now, there's no other way than to hardcode /usr/src (however some ports make that overridable). I've though of that too and made a patch that has been lying here for some time without purpose. As this topic is risen, I'd like to discuss it, possibly improve and push into Mk. http://people.freebsd.org/~amdmi3/USE_SRC.patch - Introduces SRC_BASE which defaults to /usr/src and may be used in ports to access system sources - Introduces USE_SRC (to be set in ports that require kernel source) that checks whether system sources are installed and whether their version corresponds to system version (overridable) - Corrects a typo While here, I'm worried about the fact that /usr/src is used as a possible source for OSVERSION. Currently, in presence of freebsd-update, it's really likely that system sources are out-of sync with installed system, so getting OSVERSION from /usr/src should likely be removed. osreldate is enough fallback if /usr/include/sys/param.h is absent for some reason. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
