hi, i have a machine that i use for building freebsd for a bunch of other machines. in my old setup, all worked well, but now i am experiencing a few problems which seem related to symlinking and mount points.
in the old setup /usr/src & /usr/obj were just your typical partitions on a single disk, as in: /dev/da0s1g /usr/src /dev/da0s1h /usr/obj in the new setup /usr/src & /usr/obj are on the same partition, symlinked as follows: /dev/ccd0c /array /usr/src --> /array/src /usr/obj --> /array/obj on this machine, make buildworld works fine. installworld works just as well. however, when i go to do a make installworld on a client (having mounted /usr/src & /usr/obj via NFS) it dies right here: echo \#'define __FreeBSD_version' $RELDATE >> osreldate.h; echo "#endif" >> osreldate.h touch: not found *** Error code 127 Stop in /usr/src/include. *** Error code 1 now if i do the following: % ln -s /usr/obj/array /usr/obj/usr then run make installworld again, all is well until it gets to: ln -s /usr/src/lib/libncurses/../../contrib/ncurses/man/curs_addch.3x curs_addch.3 ln: curs_addch.3: File exists *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib/libncurses. *** Error code 1 after searching on google for that error, it turns up that i can use the -k flag with make. if i then run make -k installworld it spits up many errors (all related to ncurses) but completes the install. ideally i would like to have this machine build -stable & -release as we have client machines of different needs, so i envisioned having a nice ccd raid-0 of disks to hold the builds. any ideas? thanks. -- :// randall s. ehren :// voice 805.893.5632 :// systems administrator :// isber|survey|avss.ucsb.edu :// institute for social, behavioral, and economic research To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
