i fixed this by modifying this piece of code from /usr/src/sys/conf/kmod.mk
(it starts with line 167 in the file)
.for _dir in ${.CURDIR}/../.. ${.CURDIR}/../../.. /sys /usr/src/sys
.if !defined(SYSDIR) exists(${_dir}/kern/)
SYSDIR= ${_dir}
.endif
.endfor
.if !defined(SYSDIR) || !exists(${SYSDIR}/kern/)
.error can't find kernel source tree

i removed the last / from /kern/ and now it seems it can find the
directory.
i don't know if this is a general problem, or it is just in the case of

How are you building the kernel? Are you using `make buildworld' first
and then `make buildkernel' (or `make kernel')?
Maybe now it will be more obvious why I thought that upgrade_checks
should always be done, for all standard src/Makefile targets.
Currently, you either need to upgrade your /usr/bin/make binary
manually, or to use this command from /usr/src:
make buildkernel -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE ...
with up-to-date tools/regression/usr.bin/make/ and usr.bin/make/
sources.

I don't think the original poster was building his kernel with src/Makefile targets. I believe he was doing it the old-fashioned way: manual config, make depend, make kernel.

Maybe now it will be more obvious why I thought that upgrade_checks should always be done, for all standard src/Makefile targets. It has already been obvious why you thought upgrade_checks should always be done. The obviousness of your thoughts says nothing about the correctness or sensibility of your thoughts, though. You still fail to see that buildkernel is not always the way people build kernels and buildworld not a target that's made on a daily basis. You therefore continue to break the development environment for a significant portion of the -current developers by failing to use common sense and hanging on to obvious and obviously flawed points of view. To be less vague about this: your change to kmod.mk was not made after giving a dependent change, i.e. the fix to make(1), sufficient time to take effect by the natural course of events. Instead you made a change that takes effect immediately right after making a change that only takes effect after an install and then attribute breakages to other causes then your own actions. I consider that a severe lack of good judgement. The Marcel approved way of doing this would be: 1. fix make(1), 2. Wait a month (or so) or until after the next release, whichever comes first, 3. Change kmod.mk. If something else needs to be fixed that depends on changing kmod.mk so that you don't have the time to let nature do it's thing, you send a HEADS UP to tell people that they need to build and install make(1) to restore universal balance. Under no circumstances are you to break the development environment gratuitously and turn it into a political event that allows you to draw attention (obviously) to your (obvious) thoughts.

I reverted the change so I could compile new kernels again w/o upgrading my make. Let's move on and revert my reverting in about a month.

can't find kernel source tree error when building the kernel.
hello,
i just downloaded via cvsup the latest kernel for freebsd 5.1.
i had a problem with it, more exactly when i did a make depend
it stopped at some place, and gave me this error:
can't find kernel source tree
i fixed this by modifying this piece of code from /usr/src/sys/conf/kmod.mk
(it starts with line 167 in the file)
.for _dir in ${.CURDIR}/../.. ${.CURDIR}/../../.. /sys /usr/src/sys
.if !defined(SYSDIR) exists(${_dir}/kern/)
SYSDIR= ${_dir}
.endif
.endfor
.if !defined(SYSDIR) || !exists(${SYSDIR}/kern/)
.error can't find kernel source tree
.endif
i removed the last / from /kern/ and now it seems it can find the

Re: can't find kernel source tree error when building the kernel.
Hello Clau, C i removed the last / from /kern/ and now it seems it can find the C directory. C i don't know if this is a general problem, or it is just in the case of C my system. Same here. Setting SYSDIR helped for now. But the last commit message to kmod.mk: Revert rev. 1.86, I've fixed make(1) (make/dir.c,v 1.32). Hints that rebuilding make would be an alternative fix. -- Best regards, Maxmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cd /sys/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config MYCONFIG
cd ../compile/MYCONFIG
make depend
make
make install
this is the entire process i do.
