You can do 'make buildwork -DWITH_META_FILES' and it will produce meta files - they can be very handy for debugging issues - like headers comming from places you didn't expect. My original plan was in fact to do just what you suggest - to use that for seeding the dependencies. That's what we did with the Junos build and it was very painless, but it already worked the way we wanted it to (visiting leaf dirs once only, and in the correct order). Buildworld works nothing like that, so I soon gave up on trying to extract useful tree dependencies from it. It is theoretically possble to add enough filtering to extract useful results from it, but it is far easier to just use the meta mode build to update itself. Which is what I've been doing on the projects/bmake branch for the last few years. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
