This will take a little more surgery than initially thought. make: "/export/home/cy/freebsd/svn/current/share/mk/src.libnames.mk" line 563: /export/home/cy/freebsd/svn/current/sbin/ipf/ipftest: Invalid LIBADD used which may need to be added to src.libnames.mk: libkern Probably not a good idea anyway to reference libkern from a userland utility. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <cy.schub...@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <c...@freebsd.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
