# make world
WARNING: make world will overwrite your existing FreeBSD
installation without also building and installing a new
kernel. This can be dangerous. Please read the handbook,
'Rebuilding world', for how to upgrade your system.
Define DESTDIR to where you want to install FreeBSD,
including /, to override this warning and proceed as usual.
You may get the historical 'make world' behavior by defining
HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD. You should understand the implications
before doing this.
Bailing out now...
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src.
Now, THIS is quite funny... do you really thing that a person with
- root access
- the knowledge of the existence of "make world"
needs this sort of things?
I didn't see anything about this new-wave-of-user-friendly-bsd
going on the list.. have I missed something?
And your complaint would be ... what exactly?
I don't want my OS to treat me like a stupid.
Yeah, we have Windows for that. Or if you hate MS, GNU/Linux.
But there are valid reasons for wanting to do a make world (i.e. -
you've changed make.conf options the kernel doesn't use). If it's
going to be friendly, it should tell us how to do what we told it to
do....
Even worse.. it doesn't tell you how to do what you tell him to do.. it
doubts that maybe that's not what you really want to do!
From the bit you quoted in your first post:
----------

including /, to override this warning and proceed as usual.
You may get the historical 'make world' behavior by defining
HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD. You should understand the implications
before doing this.
----------
Tells you right there how to work around this warning.
