4.0-CURRENT from 3.2-RELEASE

1999-10-05 Thread Bill A. K.

Hi,
 I'm trying to upgrade my system from 3.2-RELEASE to 4.0-CURRENT, i
CVsuped the source, but when I try to build it, (with cd /usr/src, make -j4
buildworld, but also with just make buildworld), it blows up on libgcc1.c
(the one everybody's been complaining about.) Greg Lehey told me to build
the kernel first, but the 3.2 config won't correctly run the 4.0 kernel
config file.

Any suggestions?  What do you think of the problem Greg? I really want to
get this up.

Thanks

Bill

You're venturing into some virgin territory, but some old advice in the
FreeBSD Handbook still applies -- if you intend to run CURRENT,
subscribe to the freebsd-current mailing list a little while _before_
you intend to migrate.

Recent discusssions on the freebsd-current mailing list would answer
this question:

And the answer is... ;-)

You'll need to build and install config(8) first. You might get away
with this:

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config
make cleandir && make obj && make install

Ciao,
Sheldon.
