Just set the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX variable in the environment to the desired path, and the build system will use it instead of /usr/obj. Keep in mind that you cannot set it on the make command line or in make.conf, it must be set in the environment. Also note that you still can use /usr/obj if the RELENG_5 and RELENG_6 sources are at different locations, like /usr/src and /usr/src-6, because the binaries will be built in /usr/obj/usr/src and /usr/obj/usr/src-6, respectively. > once I get it built, how do I do a install to a different path.

Note here that in order to get a new functional 6.x system while keeping your 5.x system, you'll have to install 6.x to a free slice or disk labelled, newfs'd, and mounted, e.g., under /mnt. Unlike with some other operating systems, you cannot easily have several working FreeBSD installations in the same file tree: each FreeBSD installation needs a tree of its own: /, /boot, /etc, /bin, /usr, and all that. -- Yar _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
