Re: compile error while building kernel

Hm. Well, I just compiled GENERIC using the 'old' method. Your missing
symbols are defined in assym.s, which is generated during the compile by
genassym.sh right at the beginning:

root@k9/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC #make
cc -c -O -pipe -march=athlon-xp -std=c99 -g -Wall -Wredundant-decls
-Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith

-I../../.. -I../../../contrib/altq -D_KERNEL -DHAVE_KERNEL_OPTION_HEADERS
-include opt_global.h -finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param
large-function-growth=1000 -mno-align-long-strings -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
-mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -ffreestanding
../../../i386/i386/genassym.c
NM='nm' sh ../../../kern/genassym.sh genassym.o > assym.s

Do you see something different at your end?



I never noticed before but since you have mentioned that the values
are supposed to be set in assym.s in the step right before my failure
I went back and looked and I get this:

[/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC] root@rance-freebsd# make
cc -c -o -pipe -march=athlon-mp -std=c99 -g -Wall -Wredundant-decls
-Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -Wundef -Wno-pointer-sign
-fformat-extensions -nostdinc -I. -I../../.. -I../../../contrib/altq
-D_KERNEL -DHAVE_KERNEL_OPTION_HEADERS -include opt_global.h
-finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param
large-function-growth=1000 -mno-align-long-strings
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2
-mno-sse3 -ffreestanding ../../../i386/i386/genassym.c
NM='nm' sh ../../../kern/genassym.sh genassym.o > assym.s
nm: 'genassym.o': No such file

which must be the problem. If there is no genassym.o file then
assym.s doesnt get created.

Then when assym.s doesnt get created the rest of the build will fail miserably

ok, so I know what the problem is. Wonder what to do about it?
