make world dying

1999-01-19 Thread Aaron D. Gifford
I'm still trying to upgrade from 3.0-RELEASE to 3.0-CURRENT
unsuccessfully.  It used to die in perl, then that was fixed, but for
the past 2 days, it has been dying in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386. 
Is this a known problem?  Yes, I'm a CURRENT newbie, but hopefully only
until the split to 3.1 when I can hopefully then play with 3.1-STABLE.

Are questions such as the above better addressed to -questions or
-current?

Thanks.

Hoping to catch a cvsup when the source tree will build,
Aaron out.

Hmmm, I zapped my /usr/obj clean around 1100PST 19/Jan/1999 and made world
just fine.  Try starting with an empty /usr/obj.  

You can pretty much glean from reading -current whether or not most people
are building it or if it is broken.  -questions is more for general
freebsd issues.

I updated my tree last night and was able to do a buildworld without
mishap, but I already had a mostly -current install.  However, I do
not recall there being a specific problem with libi386.

The only other thing I can think of is that I'm doing an ELF build,
and I suppose it is possible that the A.OUT build is broken and the
ELF build is not.

A good plan is to include the actual diagnostic, together with some
context, if you run into a problem.  For instance:

| /usr/obj/elf/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/../btx/btx/btx -l boot2.ldr  -o
| boot2.ld -P 1 boot2.bin
| kernel: ver=0.87 size=6d0 load=9000 entry=9010 map=16M pgctl=1:1
| client: fmt=bin size=143c text=0 data=0 bss=0 entry=0
| output: fmt=bin size=1d0c text=200 data=1b0c org=0 entry=0
| 244 bytes available
| dd if=boot2.ld of=boot2 obs=7680 conv=osync 2/dev/null
| === sys/boot/i386/libi386
| make: don't know how to make machine/ansi.h. Stop
| *** Error code 2
| 
| Stop.

That way, if it's not a known problem, but some form of pilot error,
you may get some useful help anyway.
