Re: ive been trying to build a kernel all morning!



In the last episode (Oct 31), Jonathan Horne said:
i have a 6.2-PRERELEASE machine, that i am trying to build a
6.1-RELEASE-p10 kernel and world on.

before i began, i did a rm -rf /usr/src/* /usr/obj/*, and then did a
fresh
cvsup of RELENG_6_1. i do the same thing i always do, which would be to
cd to /usr/src, and then issue 'make -j 6 buildkernel
KERNCONF=[CONFNAME]
(in this case, a conf file named REGULUS).

First step: get rid of the -j6, so the build stops as soon as there's a
compile error. Or, record the entire output of make and scan it
top-down for the first error message.

well, it turned out to be an easy to solve problem. my issue was, that i
was not building the world prior to building the new kernel. after i did
a buildworld, buildkernel then completed as would be expected.

cheers,
jonathan
