Re: buildworld error updating 4.6 --> stable
Well $%^& - I spoke too soon. I thought I had past the problem area. It seems ncurses is used in lots of places. I am out of ideas. Same error same place different ../share/mk - sigh I am gonna read a good book for the rest of the evening.

Re: buildworld error updating 4.6 --> stable
The answer was: cd /usr/share mv mk mk.old ln -s /usr/src/share/mk/ mk It would seem to me that this is either a build problem or might at least rate a line in UPDATING. Or perhaps buildworld use /usr/src/share/mk rather than the one that won't work?. A diff showed major work on mk. I assume the new one will be installed on installworld.

Building my own release
I was having a hell of a time downloading ISO images of 4.8-RC1 or 5.0 to install on an old machine I just got--they'd freeze, no matter what mirror I used--so I thought I'd try making my own release and ISO images. I could compile everything here, burn a CD, and I'd be all set. I read release (7), and looked the examples, but I'm still not sure what to do. I used the sample cvs-supfile to download all the CVS files, but then I got stuck. The release man page says this was used to build 4.5-RELEASE: cd /usr cvs co -rRELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE src cd src make buildworld cd release make release CHROOTDIR=/local3/release BUILDNAME=4.5-RELEASE \ CVSROOT=/host/cvs/usr/home/ncvs RELEASETAG=RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE What does that cvs in the second line do? Where they used RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE, what would I use if I wanted to build from my system and I've cvsupped so I'm up to date? uname -a says 4.8-PRERELEASE now, of course, and I just want to take what I've got and make a CD of it. I couldn't get the cvs line to go, and when I tried the make release, whatever release I tried or guessed at, I'd get: ===> include creating osreldate.h from newvers.sh setvar PARAMFILE /usr/src/include/../sys/sys/param.h; . /usr/src/include/../sys/conf/newvers.sh; echo "$COPYRIGHT" > osreldate.h; echo "#ifdef _KERNEL" >> osreldate.h; echo '#error "osreldate.h must not be used in the kernel, use sys/param.h"' >> osreldate.h; echo "#else" >> osreldate.h; echo \#'undef __FreeBSD_version' >> osreldate.h; echo \#'define __FreeBSD_version' $RELDATE >> osreldate.h; echo "#endif" >> osreldate.h touch: not found *** Error code 127 [more errors and make dies] I read through the release engineering stuff at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/ but that didn't clear it up.

Same nv server. I'm happy to provide details. One that might help is that this is an Athelon XP 1800. Let me know what you need to debug with. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
